Quick, easy, tasty, perfect after a long day of work (whatever you do). Cooking pasta in this way is someone elses idea and I can't remember who's...Please tell me...someone! :( Test the pasta occasionally and drain it when it's at your preferd hardness or softness , I refuse to eat anything that is not al-dente, but in spain they serve it all mushy (ick!). Ingredients:
pasta (penne rigate or pasta bows for 2 people) |
1 large onion, chopped thinly |
2 green peppers, chopped thinly |
1 small red pepper, chopped thinly |
2 tablespoons olive oil (not virgin!) |
20 g butter |
fresh basil, chopped (just a bit) |
grated parmesan cheese (, to serve) |
1 tablespoon pine nuts |
Directions:
1. Boil water in a large pan, add pasta, return to boil and turn off the heat, leave for 15 minutes (it really does work!).
2. While you are awaiting for the pasta heat a wok or a frying pan and add the oil and.
3. Fry onions'till the're limp , add the butter.
4. Stir-fry until the onions have gone golden.
5. Add green peppers and stir-fry for 2 minutes.
6. Add red peppers and fry for another 2 minutes (I like crispy peppers, if you like yours limp the use more time and add the peppers earlier in the cooking).
7. Add basil and pine nuts.
8. Remove from heat.
9. Test the pasta to see if its done, if its not then boil the water up again and it will be.
10. Strain pasta and add to the vegetables, mix and serve.
11. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
12. Use parmesano Reggiano for top quality taste.
