PEPPERONCINI PASTA
A quick and inexpensive pasta dish. I have never made it for anyone else so it could just be my taste but I think it has a good flavor to it. If you dont have the pepperchinis (they come in a jar)then you can always sub with the pepper rings; hot or mild. (they also come in a jar) The amount of heat/flavor you want will determine the amount of peppers you use. I used 1/2cup. I never salt this dish as the peppers give it enough.
