Instructions

1. Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 400°F. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. Halve bell pepper; remove stem and seeds. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.
2. Drizzle bell pepper halves with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; arrange cut sides down on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Peel garlic; place clove in the center of a small piece of foil; drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Cinch into a packet and place on same sheet. Roast on top rack until bell pepper is lightly charred and garlic is softened, 20-25 minutes.
3. Rinse shrimp under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels. Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over high heat. Once pan is hot, add shrimp; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until opaque and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
4. Once bell pepper and garlic have roasted 15 minutes, add agnolotti to pot of boiling water; reduce to a low simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente and floating to the top, 3-5 minutes. Reserve ½ cup pasta cooking water (1 cup for 4 servings), then drain and set aside. Keep empty pot handy for Step 5.
5. Once bell pepper and garlic are done roasting, carefully transfer to a cutting board. Thinly slice bell pepper and gently mash garlic with a fork until smooth.
6. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in pot used for pasta over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites; cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add ¼ cup reserved pasta cooking water (⅓ cup for 4 servings), stock concentrate, cream cheese, sour cream, half the Parmesan and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4); stir until smooth. Stir in bell pepper and mashed garlic. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Turn off heat. Season with salt and pepper. Stir shrimp into sauce.
7. Stir agnolotti into pan with sauce. TIP: If needed, stir in more reserved pasta cooking water a splash at a time until pasta is coated in a creamy sauce. Divide between bowls. Season with pepper. Garnish with scallion greens and remaining Parmesan. Serve.
