A quick and inexpensive pasta dish. I have never made it for anyone else so it could just be my taste but I think it has a good flavor to it. If you dont have the pepperchinis (they come in a jar)then you can always sub with the pepper rings; hot or mild. (they also come in a jar) The amount of heat/flavor you want will determine the amount of peppers you use. I used 1/2cup. I never salt this dish as the peppers give it enough.
Ingredients:
2 cups linguine or 2 cups pasta, of choice
1/4 cup olive oil
1 large ripe tomato, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped fine
2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped fine
1/2 cup chopped pepperoncini peppers or 1/2 cup pepper rings
1/2 teaspoon pepperoncini pepper juice, from pepper jar that peppers were in. (optional)
Directions:
1. cook pasta according to directions on box.
2. in a separate saute pan; heat all other ingredients until very warm; not wilted.
3. drain pasta and toss with sauteed mixture.
4. if pressed for time/space you can just toss pasta with other ingredients without warming the pepper mixture; the heat from the noodles will warm them up.
5. serve with good bread.
