Preparation
Roast the sweet peppers & tomatoes
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Halve and core the sweet peppers lengthwise; thinly slice crosswise. Mince the garlic. In a large baking dish, toss the sweet peppers and tomatoes with a drizzle of oil, ½ the spices and S&P. Roast, stirring and adding ¾ of the garlic halfway, 10 to 12 min., until softened.
Boil the pasta
Meanwhile, add the pasta to the pot of boiling water; stir gently to separate. Boil, 10 to 11 min., until al dente. Reserving ½ cup cooking water, drain, return to the pot and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Combine the pasta & sauce
To the pot of pasta, add the sweet peppers, tomatoes, ricotta, cream, demi-glace, ½ the reserved cooking water, the remaining garlic and spices, and S&P; stir well. If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency. Transfer to the baking dish.
Assemble & bake the pasta
Sprinkle the pasta with the Grana Padano and a drizzle of oil. Cover and bake, 15 to 17 min., until bubbling at the edges. Uncover and bake, 10 to 12 min., until browned on top.
Plate your dish
Divide the pasta between your plates. Bon appétit!
