Ingredients

  • 1 lb penne pasta
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 onion, diced

Instructions

Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions. Once the pasta is done cooking, drain it and set aside.
