PASTA WITH PEPPERS
Scrumptious and full of flavor, this pasta with peppers makes a terrific vegetarian pasta dish. The slowly cooked peppers mingle with the sweet red onion, the garlic and the savory Kalamata olives. Finish with balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive and fresh basil. All BIG flavors!

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick pan, then add the sliced peppers, season with fine salt and freshly ground pepper, cover with a lid and cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes. Stir frequently.
- After 15 minutes stir in the the onion and cook for a further 10 minutes. Add a touch of water if needed.
- When the onion and the peppers are done, add the olives, the balsamic vinegar and the garlic, give a good stir and cook for about 3 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning according to your likings, you might want to add an extra pinch of salt or more black pepper.
- Meanwhile, bring a pot of salty water to the boil and cook your pasta until al dente, according to the package's directions. Keep in mind to reserve some of the starchy cooking water when you drain the pasta (about ½ cup should be fine).
- Add the pasta to the pan along with a good drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and some of the pasta cooking water (add it gradually until needed). Addd the basil leaves and toss well until the pasta looks well coated and moist.
- Divide the pasta with peppers into 4 bowls, garnish with a few extra basil leaves and serve with freshly grated parmesan cheese if you don't keep it vegan. Enjoy!

SPAGHETTINI WITH SPICY SEAFOOD
My mom had her go-to dinner party dishes and this pasta was always a hit. It is one of my favorites-and one of the first recipes that made me love seafood. The beauty is in its simplicity: For all its flavor and elegance, the dish has the approachability of a quick weeknight meal. - Stephen Jackson, Recipe Developer

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it is shimmering. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, add to the skillet and cook until lightly browned on both sides, about 3 minutes total; transfer to a plate. Season the scallops with salt and pepper, add to the skillet and cook undisturbed until nicely browned on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Give the scallops a quick stir and cook 1 minute, then transfer to the plate with the shrimp.
- Add the spaghetti to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions for al dente. Strain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water.
- While the spaghetti cooks, reduce the heat to medium, add the garlic to the skillet and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring to scrape up any brown bits, until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, red pepper flakes and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Add the pasta, shrimp, scallops and reserved cooking water and toss to combine. Continue cooking until the sauce coats the pasta and the seafood is heated through, about 2 minutes.
- Turn off the heat, stir in the parsley and basil and divide among four serving bowls. Sprinkle with the lemon zest, drizzle with more olive oil if desired and serve.

SPAGHETTINI WITH PEPPERS AND SAND
I've served this at several occasions and it has always been a hit. (It's very similar to the "pasta with sand" recipe elsewhere on Recipezaar.) Recipe is from Jeff Smith's "Frugal Gourmet Cooks Italian."

Steps:
- Place a large pot of water on to boil for the pasta.
- Remove core and seeds from pepper and slice thinly--julienne style.
- Heat a large frying pan and add 2 tablespoons of the oil.
- Add the pepper and saute over high heat for two minutes.
- The peppers should remain a little crisp.
- Remove from the pan and set aside uncovered.
- Heat the frying pan again and add the remaining oil and the garlic.
- Saute just a few seconds.
- Add the bread crumbs and red pepper flakes.
- Gently toast the mixture, stirring often, until very lighly browned.
- Boil the pasta until al dente and drain well.
- Return to the pot and toss with the red bell pepper and the bread crumbs.
- Salt and pepper to taste if desired.
- NOTE ON DOUBLING: I have had some difficulty doubling this recipe easily.
- It works, but you need to tweak the preparation a bit.
- First, I'd recommend toasting the breadcrumb mixture in two batches (1/4 cup at a time).
- It can also be difficult to toss the pasta evenly, so I'd start with a 1/3 of the pasta, add a third of the breadcrumb mixture and then add the second third and so forth.
- You may need to add a little extra olive oil as well.
