Jumbo Macaroni w/ Green Peppers, Peas & Fresh Basil


This meal was a true SEXY CHEF creation basically because it LITERALLY only took about 10 minutes to put together... QUICK AND EASY! I had made the sauce the previous night (easy) and had leftover sauce which I mixed with the pasta and added some delicious additions. Directions below:






Ingredients
- 2 cans PLAIN tomato sauce (any variety)(JUST tomatoes, nothing else)
- 1/2 green pepper, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- Crushed red pepper
- Fresh Basil
- Dried Oregano
- Salt
- Pepper
- 1 pound jumbo macaroni
- Olive oil
- Parmesan Cheese (grated)

To Make:

In a medium pot, drizzle some olive oil and saute your onions and green pepper together. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook on medium heat, stirring frequently until they are tender.

While those veggies are sauteing, heat another pot of water on high heat until it boils. Salt the water once it's boiling and add in your pasta, cooking about 7-8 minutes until they are aldente.

Open your cans of PLAIN sauce and dump into the pot stirring everything together. Add some salt and pepper, oregano, crushed red pepper and a hand full of chopped basil.

Add some Parmesan cheese into your sauce and keep stirring. Keep on medium-low heat.

Once you pasta is done, drain, and add 2 tsp of olive oil back into the pot, then add your pasta back in, mixing with the olive oil. Mix your sauce into your pasta and stir, adding more Parmesan cheese in. Lastly, garnish with some chopped fresh basil and serve.

HAPPY EATING!
