Description

A great fresh pasta dish to make during the hot days of summer.

Ingredients

  • 12 whole Ripe Plum Tomatoes, Halved
  • 2 whole Red Sweet Bella Peppers, Halved
  • 2 whole Medium Onions, Peeled And Halved
  • 1 pound Dried Pasta (Fusilli Or Penne Suggested)
  • 6 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Peeled And Minced
  • ½ cups Fresh Parsley, Chopped
  • ⅓ cups Fresh Basil, Chopped
  • 12 whole Pitted Black Olives, Coarsely Chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons Capers, Drained
  • Salt And Pepper
  • Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
  • 6 Tablespoons Grated Parmesan Cheese

Preparation

Grill the tomato, pepper and onion halves over medium heat until browned and tender. Remove from the heat and coarsely chop, discarding cores and seeds from the peppers. Cook the pasta “al dente.” While the pasta is cooking, mix together the oil, garlic, herbs, olives, capers and seasonings. Drain the pasta and add the seasoning mix. Add the chopped onions, cheese, peppers and tomatoes and cook a minute or two over medium heat on the stove top until everything is piping hot.

Serve, offering additional cheese if desired.

I can’t wait to try this! What a great way to get in some veggies – and a nice change from pasta and red sauce.

I made this last night, and although it involved a lot more chopping than I’m used to, both my husband and I were fans, and it was worth it. It was really fresh tasting and surprisingly hearty. The beginning of the recipe was a little confusing, because I’m not used to just halving onions and peppers and letting them brown, but I guess it worked, so whatever!

A few changes/alterations I made:

– used grape tomatoes instead of plum tomatoes because there weren’t any at the store

– omitted olives (not a fan)

– used one red onion, one yellow onion

– used rigatoni pasta (It held in all the veggies and “sauce” really well)
