I had the BEST lunch yesterday... it was just a "throw-together" kind of meal, and I'm so happy how it turned out! This should make enough for 2 people.
Red Pepper & Basil Pasta
2 C cooked short pasta (I used Brown Rice Penne Pasta from Trader Joe's)
1 med. Red Bell Pepper-chopped
2 Tbs. Garlic-minced
1/2 C marinara sauce (I prefer "tomato & basil" from TJ's)
1 Tbs. Olive Oil
1/3 C loosley packed, fresh Basil-chopped (garnish)
sea salt (to taste)
Cook pasta, drain, set aside. Saute garlic & olive oil over MEDIUM heat (both will burn!) for a minute or so and then add the pepper. Saute for another 2 minutes then add the pasta back to the mixture; turn heat to low. Stir, add a touch more olive oil if the pasta is sticking. Add marinara; just enough to cover pasta mixture completely. The sauce should heat up rather quickly. Serve up and garnish with the chopped basil & sea salt.
Enjoy!
