Bell Pepper Trinity Pasta Shells

I bought a packages bell peppers that had one green, one red and one yellow and all I had to do was figure out what to make with them. I had some pasta shells so I thought here's a perfect side dish. I rounded out the dish with yellow onion, garlic, salt and pepper and it was awesome.

 

Ingredients:

1 package Barilla pasta shells

1/2 bell peppers; green, red & yellow

1/2 diced yellow onion
2 cloves minced garlic
2 tablespoon olive oil
Diced green onions
Salt and pepper

Preparation:
Take a large stock pot and fill with water. Add 1 tablespoon salt and bring to boil. Cook the pasta according to directions which is usually 10 minutes to al dente which is firm to the bite. Drain the pasta and set a side.

 

Take a 12" sauté pan and heat to medium. Add the olive oil, onion, garlic and a grind of salt and pepper. Stir the mixture frequently adjusting the heat down if necessary to avoid burning the onion and garlic. 

 

Take the bell peppers and dice into small pieces about 3/8". Add the bell peppers to the sauté pan and cook until the bell peppers start to turn translucent. Add the pasta shells and toss well and you're done.  

 

To serve, place the bell pepper trinity pasta shells into a serving bowl. Garnish the dish with diced green onions, a grind of salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil.
