Ingredients

  • 4 cups uncooked farfalle (bow-tie) pasta (8 ounces)
  • 1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
  • 2 small green bell peppers, cut into 1/4-inch strips
  • 1 small red bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch strips
  • 1 small yellow bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch strips
  • 4 cups tomato pasta sauce (any variety)

Steps

  • 1
    Cook and drain pasta as directed on package.
  • 2
    While pasta is cooking, heat oil in 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook bell peppers in oil about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender.
  • 3
    Stir pasta sauce into peppers. Simmer uncovered 15 minutes. Serve over pasta.

  • If you can find tripolini—miniature bow-ties—use them in place of the farfalle. Your guests will love these tiny pasta shapes!
  • Vary the pasta and the peppers in this low-fat main dish. It will always be a winner!
