All the flavour of a traditional sausage, pepper and onion fry-up, but without the mess of greasy sausage! Ingredients:
2 large tomatoes, chopped |
2 garlic cloves |
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided |
2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley |
8 ounces dry whole wheat pasta |
2 tablespoons kosher salt |
1 1/2 large red bell peppers, cut into thin strips |
1 medium sweet onion, thinly sliced |
1/2 teaspoon paprika |
1/2 teaspoon fennel seed |
1/4 teaspoon mustard powder |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1 pinch red pepper flakes |
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice |
Directions:
1. In a small food processor or blender, puree the tomatoes, garlic, 1/2 tbsp of the oil and parsley. Set aside.
2. Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling water with the kosher salt until al dente. Drain (DO NOT RINSE!) and return to pot. Keep warm.
3. Heat remaining olive oil in a deep skillet over medium and add the bell pepper and onion.
4. Cook until soft and golden, 7 to 8 minutes.
5. Sprinkle in the spices, stir well and cook 1 minute longer.
6. Add the sauteed mixture, tomato-garlic puree and lemon juice to the pasta, stir well and serve immediately.
