Directions

Prep 20 minCook 20 min
  1. 1

    Stem and seed the red bell peppers, then cut them into 1/3 inch cubes. Pit the olives and quarter them. Press the garlic cloves.

  2. 2

    Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.

  3. 3

    Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers, olives, garlic, and crushed red pepper, and sauté until the bell peppers are tender, about 4 to 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the cooked pasta, 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta cooking liquid, 1 cup of basil, 1 cup of cheese, and vinegar to the skillet. Toss until the sauce coats the pasta, adding more reserved cooking liquid by 1/4 cupfuls if dry, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup of basil. Serve with additional cheese on the side.
