Spicy Whole-Wheat Linguine with Red Peppers

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 6

Ingredients

1 pound whole-wheat linguine
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
4 garlic cloves, minced
4 medium red bell peppers, cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick strips
1 teaspoon coarse salt

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Bring 6 quarts water to a boil in a large pot. Add the pasta; cook according to package instructions until al dente.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, heat the oil, red pepper flakes, and garlic in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the oil is hot but not smoking, about 2 minutes. Add the bell pepper strips, and cook until very soft, about 20 minutes.

    Step 3

    Drain the pasta well. Rinse with warm water; shake out excess. Return the pasta to the pot. Stir salt into the bell pepper mixture; add to the pasta, and toss well to coat.
