This is a nice recipe for when you are in the mood for marinara, yet want something a little different. This does make a lot of sauce - we like that, but if you don't you might want to add more pasta. When I made this I used whole wheat rontini instead of penne, and I increased the red pepper flakes. From Cooking Light (March 2001). Ingredients:
cooking spray |
1 1/2 cups onions, finely chopped |
4 garlic cloves, minced |
2 cups roasted red peppers, coarsely chopped |
1 tablespoon dried basil |
3/4 teaspoon sugar |
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, undrained |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
3 cups uncooked penne (cooked according to package to make about 6 cups) |
Directions:
1. Place a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat.
2. Add onion and garlic; sauté for 6 minutes or until tender.
3. Add bell peppers and the next 5 ingredients (bell peppers through tomatoes); bring to a boil.
4. Reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Remove from heat; stir in oil.
6. Serve over pasta.
