Pasta with pepper sauce

I love pasta, specialy the asian pasta, but I can't always eat only the asian pasta. I guess everyone loves pasta it's easy and fast done and the variousity is just that great. Wheater you add vegetable, tempeh or tofu it always tastes different. This time I made a "meatless" pasta dish only with a sauce, but not the "usual" tomato sauce. I like the taste of roasted peppers - well they need some time to roast but the taste is worth it!

I'm not a really fan of dessert but sometimes I just feel like I have to make something sweet. The reason I made this apple tart was that I had my sister over for a cup of coffee and just a "plain" coffee without a sweet beside is a no-go. And this tart is really pretty fast done.
