Instructions
In a deep skillet, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook until golden, about 3 minutes (DON'T skip this step).

On low heat, add peppers, salts, tomato paste, and cheese. Stir until totally combined.
Taste and adjust seasonings and thickness. Stir in cooked pasta.

Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top and dot with butter.
Broil on high for 2-3 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
