Fast, simple, and delicious-great for a busy weeknight! Just add a salad and bread. During the summer I puree fresh basil and freeze it in ice trays, and that's what I use in this sauce. However, you could use 1 teaspoon of dried basil if you have to. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 cup sweet red pepper, minced |
2 large garlic cloves, minced |
1/2 cup finely chopped onion |
1/3 cup water |
2 chicken bouillon cubes |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil |
2 tablespoons heavy cream or 2 tablespoons half-and-half |
8 ounces ziti pasta, cooked and drained |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add red pepper, onion and garlic; saute 5 minutes.
2. Stir in water, bouillon cubes and basil. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
3. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Stir in cream. Simmer, stirring constantly, 2 minutes.
4. Spoon over ziti and toss. Top with fresh cracked pepper, if desired.
