Ingredients
3/4 lb whole wheat spaghetti
1 tablespoon olive oil
4-5 golden peppers, peeled and cut lengthwise into 1/4 inch strips
1 red onion thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, pressed
1/2 cup white wine
1/4 cup black olives
2-3 tablespoons capers, rinsed
2/3 cup chopped parsley
2 cups sun gold or other bite sized tomatoes
mushrooms sliced and sauteed might be a nice touch
parmesan cheese helps tone down the sweetness of this dish
Preparation
- Bring pot to boil - make spaghetti
- Heat oil in a wide pan such as a dutch oven. Add the peppers and red onion and cook over high heat, tossing them around in pan to sear them. After 4-5 minutes, add the garlic, pour in wine and deglaze the pan, scraping up the pan juices. Lower heat to medium and add olives, capers, half the parsley and a scoop of water from the pasta pot. Season with salt and plenty of pepper. Add the little tomatoes, simmer for a few minutes (may want to smush the tomatoes)
- When spaghetti is done, drain, spoon the sauce over the pasta and garnish with parsley.
