Description

I love simple dishes that highlight one ingredient!

I was pleasantly surprised how this simple dish with very little ingredients had so much flavor! I ate it again the next day for lunch, and the following night with the leftover chicken sausage I had from my Stuffed Portobellos. This dish could also be served cooled or at room temperature. So it’s perfect for a cookout as a pasta salad.

Ingredients

  • 3  Bell Peppers, Red, Orange, And Yellow
  • ½ cups Balsamic Vinaigrette
  • 8 ounces, weight Gemelli Pasta
  • Olive Oil
  • ½ cups Crumbled Goat Cheese
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Basil, Chopped
  • Black Pepper

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 425ºF.

Halve your peppers vertically and remove the stems, core, and seeds. Arrange peppers with the insides facing down on a baking sheet, lined with foil and sprayed with non-stick spray.

Roast for about 30 to 40 minutes or until they are tender and the skin begins to blacken and peel. Remove from the oven and immediately place them in a plastic bag. Seal the bag and let them sit for 10 minutes. Carefully remove the skins, which should peel off nicely, and slice them lengthwise. Toss them in a large bowl with vinaigrette and let sit.

Cook your pasta according to the directions on the back of the box. Drain pasta and place into the bowl with your marinating peppers. Drizzle with olive oil and toss with goat cheese and basil. Season to taste with pepper.

Feel free to add more or less vinaigrette, cheese, or basil to your liking.

This was really simple and delicious. I swirled a spoonful of the goat cheese into the mixture while the noodles were still warm to add a touch of creaminess. The leftovers were great cold with some chicken, too. I think I’m going to try it with Israeli couscous next time.

Great recipe! I usually roast peppers under the broiler, but I decided to go the oven route described here this time. They turned out wonderfully! (perhaps in part because I forgot they were in the oven and left them a little longer than I’d planned). I made my own balsamic vinaigrette and used fresh mozzarella instead of goat cheese. I’m taking this to a BBQ this afternoon and I know it will be a hit. Thanks!
