12 oz. box of short pasta (penne, etc)

2 red bell peppers, thinly sliced

12 oz. mozzarella, cut into bite size pieces

Kosher salt and pepper

Preparation

1. Cook the pasta according to package directions, drain and set aside. Wipe out the pot to reuse.
2. Heat the oil in the pasta pot over medium heat. Add bell peppers and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until peppers are tender (and turn slightly orange) (approx. 5-7 minutes). Add pasta, 1.5 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Mix together and add in cheese. Serve.
