This complete meal contains only 7 ingredients and takes under 30 minutes to prepare. Draining the pasta over the bell pepper may seem an unusual procedure, but it works great. This method cooks the pepper strips slightly before you toss them with the rest of the ingredients.

PEPPERY PASTA WITH FETA CHEESE



Peppery Pasta with Feta Cheese image

Provided by Jim Lingenfeller

Categories     Cheese     Herb     Pasta     Tomato     Fall     Bon Appétit     Minnesota

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large red bell pepper, diced
1 large green bell pepper, diced
6 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 cup thinly sliced stemmed drained peperoncini (about one 16-ounce jar)
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil or 2 tablespoons dried
1 28-ounce can Italian plum tomatoes with juices
1 pound bow-tie pasta, freshly cooked
8 ounces feta cheese, coarsely crumbled

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add both bell peppers and garlic. Sauté until peppers begin to soften, about 4 minutes. Mix in peperoncini and basil, then tomatoes. Simmer until sauce reduces slightly, breaking up tomatoes with back of spoon, about 5 minutes. Add pasta and toss until sauce coats pasta. Add feta and toss mixture to blend.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling later.
  • Choose the right pasta: For this recipe, a short pasta like penne or rotini is a good choice. The small shapes will hold the sauce well.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: This means that the pasta should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it. This will help it hold its shape and texture in the sauce.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh bell peppers and tomatoes will give your pasta dish the best flavor. If you can't find fresh vegetables, you can use frozen or canned vegetables, but they will not be as flavorful.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables should be cooked until they are tender but still have a bit of crunch. Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and flavorless.
  • Use a good quality feta cheese: Feta cheese is a key ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. Look for feta cheese that is firm and crumbly, with a salty and tangy flavor.
  • Add the feta cheese at the end: Adding the feta cheese at the end of the cooking process will help it keep its shape and flavor. If you add it too early, it will melt and become lost in the sauce.

Conclusion:

Bell pepper feta pasta toss is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With its colorful bell peppers, tangy feta cheese, and flavorful sauce, this pasta dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
