Pepper Sauce:
Method
Pepper Sauce: In blender, purée together red peppers, almond butter, banana peppers and tomato paste until smooth. Set aside.
In large pot of boiling water, cook pasta according to package directions; reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid, drain.
Meanwhile, in dry cast-iron or heavy-bottomed skillet, cook red pepper and red onion over high heat, stirring occasionally, until red pepper is slightly charred, 5 to 7 minutes; scrape into bowl.
In large pot, combine Pepper Sauce and pasta over medium heat; add reserved cooking liquid, stirring gently, if needed to loosen sauce. Divide among bowls; top with sweet red pepper mixture, Parmesan and parsley (if using).
