Ingredients:

Serving

3 tbsp olive oil
2 medium onions , halved lengthwise and cut lengthwise into thin slices (2 1/2 cups)
1 large garlic clove, finely chopped
2 large red bell peppers , cut lengthwise into 1/8-inch-wide strips (4 cups)
2 tsp finely chopped fresh jalapeno chile, including seeds, or to taste
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
3/4 cup water
1 lb cavatappi (ridged corkscrew pasta) or rotini ( corkscrew pasta)
1 (16- to 19-oz) can white beans such as great northern or cannellini, drained and rinsed
2 oz finely grated parmigiano-reggiano (1 cup)
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions:

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté onions, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and sauté, stirring, 1 minute, then transfer onions to a bowl.
Add remaining tablespoon oil to skillet and sauté bell peppers, chile, salt, and pepper, stirring occasionally, until bell peppers are tender, about 8 minutes. Add onions and water and bring to a boil, scraping up brown bits from bottom of skillet, then remove from heat.
While peppers are sautéing, cook pasta in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water , stirring occasionally, until al dente. Reserve 3/4 cup cooking water, then drain pasta well in a colander and return to pot. Add onion mixture, reserved cooking water, beans, half of cheese, and half of parsley and toss well. Serve sprinkled with remaining cheese and parsley.
