Place jalapeno peppers on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 425°F. Bake for 25 minutes, moving them around once in awhile so they get dark all over. Place peppers in a brown bag and seal. Let stand for 20 minutes until the peppers are cool enough to handle.

Carefully peel and seed the peppers. In the bowl of a food processor, place peppers, cheese, oil and salt. Process or blend until almost smooth; set aside.

Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions. Drain. Toss with jalapeno pesto and parsley. Garnish with parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
