THREE-PEPPER PASTA WITH PESTO
Enjoy this pasta made with three bell peppers and basil pesto - ready in 25 minutes. Recipe from Pillsbury. I made this today and found it to be VERY tasty. I had red, orange, and yellow peppers so that's what I used. I had some homemade basil-walnut pesto (my basil is going crazy this summer!) and used grated Parmesan cheese. I'd imagine you could add some cooked chicken if you wanted to add meat to the dish.

Steps:
- Cook ziti as directed on package. Drain.
- Meanwhile, in 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add onion; cook and stir 2 minutes. Add bell peppers; cook 3 to 5 minutes or until onion and peppers are crisp-tender, stirring frequently.
- Add cooked ziti; stir gently to mix. Remove from heat; stir in pesto and vinegar. If desired, add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with cheese.
- TIP: If balsamic vinegar isn't a staple in your pantry, use 2 teaspoons cider vinegar and a pinch of brown sugar instead.

[email protected]I thought this dish was just okay. The pesto was a bit too oily for my taste, and the pasta was a bit too al dente. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

[email protected]This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just because I used too many peppers. Next time I'll use less peppers and see how it turns out.
