Pasta, onions and peppers. image

Quick, easy, tasty, perfect after a long day of work (whatever you do). Cooking pasta in this way is someone elses idea and I can't remember who's...Please tell me...someone! :( Test the pasta occasionally and drain it when it's at your preferd "hardness" or "softness", I refuse to eat anything that is not al-dente, but in spain they serve it all mushy (ick!).
