Bugatini with Peppers

Prepration 40 minutes

Serves 4 -5

Ingredients

• 2 red bell peppers
• 1 yellow pepper
• 1 onion
• olive oil
• 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley
• 4 leaves of fresh basil
• salt and pepper
• 1 lb. of bugatini pasta

Bring a pot of water to boil. Add salt to the boiling water before adding the pasta.

Meanwhile cut your peppers into strips. Cut onions legnthwise (similar to thin slices).

Now drizzle the olive oil into a skillet ( the quantity of oil is your preference), turn on the stove then add the peppers, the onions, the chopped parsley, salt and pepper into the pan or skillet. Stir and cover. Cook in medium heat, till peppers are tender. Peppers release water, but while they are cooking if you see that the peppers are sticking to the pan, just add a cup of water and continue to cook.

Add the bugatini to boiling water, cooking time should be approximately 12- 15 minutes. Once the pasta is cooked, drain and leave some pasta water for later (about 1/2 cup). Pour the bugatini in a bowl, top with the peppers and add some pasta water, stir all together. Place on platter, garnish with chopped basil leaves and serve.

* Bugatini are similar to spaghetti only they are very thick and have a little hole in the middle. You can subsitute the bugatini with spaghetti or thick spaghetti.
