INGREDIENTS

2 cups of dried pasta (like penne or spaghetti)
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium bell peppers (any color), sliced into thin strips
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1 zucchini, diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried basil (or a small handful of fresh basil if available)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Grated Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)
Red pepper flakes (optional for those who like a little heat)

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the onions and garlic, sautéing until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Add the bell peppers and zucchini to the pan. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Then Mix in the tomatoes, basil, and oregano. Cook for another 5 minutes until the tomatoes release their juices and form a light sauce. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).

Step 5

Add the cooked pasta to the pan and toss everything together until well combined and heated through.

Step 6

Serve in bowls, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
