- Number of Servings: 2
Ingredients
1.5 c whole grain pasta (spaghetti)1.5 tbsp olive oil1/2 medium onion, dicedhalf green bell pepper, slicedhalf red bell pepper, sliced1/2 garlic clove1/4 c cooking wine1c fresh spinach (about 2 handfuls)1 tbsp walnuts, coarsely chopped
1. Boil noodles in water (most take 9-11 minutes to cook)
2. Use 1 tbsp of oil to saute onions until clear
3. Add in green peppers, red peppers, and garlic and a little bit of water. Cover with a lid and steam for about 3 minutes.
4. Uncover pepper mixture and add in cooking wine and season to taste (I use Old Bay's, but salt and pepper would work just fine too).
5. Continue to simmer until 'sauce' has reduced and peppers are cooked, but slightly crunchy, about 3-4 minutes.
6. Toss in spinach to pepper mixture over low heat and mix around until spinach has wilted.
7. Once pasta is cooked, drain and place on serving plate.
8. Top pasta with pepper mixture.
9. Drizzle remaining olive oil on top of the dish.
10. Chop walnuts and use as a garnish to finish the dish.
*This makes 2 servings! (So each person gets 3/4c pasta, 1/2 the pepper mixture, 1/4 tbsp olive oil on top, and 1/2 tablespoon walnuts on top)
