To prepare the Penne with Bell Peppers, start by peeling and thinly slicing the onion. Wash, clean and cut the bell peppers into small pieces.
In a non-stick pan, sauté the onion in a drizzle of olive oil for about ten minutes, or until soft and translucent.
Bring a pot of water to boil and cook the penne according to package instructions, remembering to drain them while still al dente (firm to the bite).
When the onion is soft, add the bell peppers to the pan, pour in a splash of water and let them stew for about fifteen minutes.
Add the tomato puree, balance the acidity with a pinch of brown sugar, stir well, cover with a lid and cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Drain the pasta directly into the pan with the sauce, stir to combine and continue cooking until the pasta is ready. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve the Penne with Bell Peppers hot! Finally, remember to download our App with exclusive content and fewer ads!

Tips

For a truly delicious Bell Pepper Pasta, we recommend using homemade Fresh Egg Pasta. The fresh pasta will better absorb the flavors of the sauce and create a more authentic Italian experience.

Storage

The Bell Pepper Pasta is best enjoyed immediately when freshly made. However, if you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day. When reheating, add a splash of water to maintain the sauce’s consistency.
