Pasta Dish

Pasta Dish
(recipe from back of a box)




I like to experiment with new recipes all the time.  And sometimes the best ones come off the back of a box.  I got this recipe from a Barilla pasta box.  It is light and tasty.







Ingredients:
1 lb box of your favorite pasta shape
1 green pepper, julienned
1 red pepper, julienned
1 yellow onion, diced small
4 tablespoons fresh chopped flat leaf parsley.
3/4 cup fresh grated Romano cheese
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cup salted pasta water
salt and pepper to taste

Cook pasta according to directions.
Meanwhile....
Saute onion in large skillet (I use a 12") till clear.
Add the peppers and 1 cup pasta water.
Cover and let simmer till the peppers are softened.

Toss cooked and drained pasta into pan with the the liquid and peppers/onions.  Salt and pepper to taste and add cheese and chopped parsley.  Serve immediately!
