Pasta With Bell-Pepper-Onion-Sauce image

I did make a couple of changes and additions but, oh my, did it turn out good! I used whole wheat bow ties pasta and subbed fat free liquid coffee creamer (to save on fat and calories) for the cream. My additions were: garlic, Italian herb mix and mushrooms. Totally easy and yummy
