Peppery Pasta with Feta Cheese Recipe

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 large green bell pepper, diced
  • 6 large garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 cup thinly sliced stemmed drained peperoncini (about one 16-ounce jar)
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil or 2 tablespoons dried
  • 1 28-ounce can Italian plum tomatoes with juices
  • 1 pound bow-tie pasta, freshly cooked
  • 8 ounces feta cheese, coarsely crumbled
  1. Heat oil in heavy Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add both bell peppers and garlic. Sauté until peppers begin to soften, about 4 minutes. Mix in peperoncini and basil, then tomatoes. Simmer until sauce reduces slightly, breaking up tomatoes with back of spoon, about 5 minutes. Add pasta and toss until sauce coats pasta. Add feta and toss mixture to blend.
