Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 cups (6 oz.) dried small shells pasta
3/4 cup green bell pepper cut in thin 2-in. pieces
3/4 cup finely chopped onion
3/4 cup carrots cut in thin half-moons
3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil, divided
3/4 tsp. salt, divided
3/4 cup frozen green peas
1/4 to 1/2 tsp. hot sauce
1/4 to 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup lime juice

Directions:

In a medium saucepan of boiling water, cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and return to pan.
Meanwhile, in a large frying pan over medium-high heat, cook bell pepper, onion, and carrots with 1 tbsp. olive oil and 1/4 tsp. salt, stirring often, until barely tender-crisp to the bite, about 3 minutes.
Add onion mixture and peas to pasta mixture; stir gently to mix. In a bowl, stir remaining 2 tbsp. olive oil, remaining 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. each hot sauce and pepper; pour over pasta mixture and stir until well coated. If you like, add more pepper and hot sauce to taste. Just before serving, stir in lime juice. Scrape into a serving bowl and serve warm or at room temperature.
