Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the sliced red bell peppers and shallots on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and add the thyme, oregano, and rosemary. Roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the peppers are soft and slightly charred.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving a bit of the cooking water.
Combine the roasted peppers and shallots with minced garlic in a large pan. Cook for 2 minutes over medium heat. Add balsamic vinegar and vegetable stock, bringing it to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the heavy cream and parmesan cheese, mixing until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to reach the desired consistency.
Toss the cooked linguine into the sauce and mix well. Finally, fold in the chopped parsley. Serve the pasta with a ball of burrata on top and sprinkle with extra parmesan cheese.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes for some heat. You can replace burrata with plant-based cheese for a vegan option.
