Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 TBS olive oil
  • 6 oz package of basil
  • 1 green pepper
  • 1 yellow pepper
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 46 cloves of garlic
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (in oil)
  • 12 oz bowtie pasta
  • parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Measure out 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes and drain off excess oils.  An easy way to drain these is to line a bowl or plate with a couple paper towels and let them drain out the oil.
  2. Finely chop, but keep them separate, the garlic, green pepper, yellow pepper, basil, sun-dried tomatoes, and onion.
  3. Put 2 TBS olive oil into a sauté pan and turn to medium.  Add the green and yellow peppers and sauté for 5 minutes.
  4. While the peppers are cooking, boil water for the pasta and cook pasta according to directions.
  5. Add the chopped onion to the peppers and sauté all together until soft, about 8-10 minutes.
  6. Add the garlic and basil and cook an additional 5 minutes, stirring all together.
  7. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and cook until warm and flavors combine, ~ 3 minutes.
  8. Serve over pasta and top with parmesan cheese.
  9. Can add Italian sausage, grilled chicken, or choice of protein.

Notes

  1. Bowtie pasta can be substituted by any preferred pasta.
  2. Add your choice of protein, such as grilled Italian sausage or grilled chicken.
