Cooking Steps
Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 400 degrees. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.

Reviews from our home cooks
I should have cooked the pasta longer than the recommended time of four minutes. With the chicken sausage addition there should be more cream sauce. The flavor was great.
Good but there wasn't enough for two people. I think it was that way due to the calorie content of the agnolotti which I understand.
Yummy. I was frightened it wasn't enough for two but it was. I added italian sausage which was really good in it.
Really enjoyed the sauce but made it without the peppers since we had stuffed peppers the evening before.
That was good, even my picky granddaughter loved it!
I was hesitant about this meal, but it was so good!
The flavor of the chicken sausage overwhelmed the butternut flavor. The portion size was also small.
There is no info in the directions on what to do with the chicken sausage. Once you include it the sauce is not enough in my opinion
Great flavors! Just wish there was a little more sauce.
Wished there was more of a sauce, needed more squash and bell pepper flavor
