PENNE PASTA WITH MULTI-COLORED PEPPERS
Which in Canada is Salade de pates au poivron, or so they say. I haven't tried this yet because I'm posting it for the WT 06. In the original recipe by Debra Weber, she says you can use 20 small Nicoise or the Kalmata olives, but it would not let me post that so I'm putting it here. This really sounds good.

Tips:
- Use a variety of bell peppers. Tri-color bell peppers are a classic choice, but you can use any combination of bell peppers you like. Try using red, yellow, and orange bell peppers for a more vibrant dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the bell peppers, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Cook the pasta al dente. Al dente pasta is pasta that is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it. This is the ideal texture for pasta with ham and tri-color peppers.
- Use a high-quality cheese. The cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Use a high-quality Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese for the best results.
- Garnish with fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley, add a pop of color and flavor to the dish. Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
Conclusion:
Pasta with ham and tri-color peppers is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. This dish is packed with flavor and is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish even more delicious.
