Peperonata penne

Woolworths is committed to sustainability via our good business journey. Seasonal (and other) products might not always be in stock.

Based on a Sicilian recipe, Peperonata sauce contains tomatoes, basil and red and yellow peppers. It’s best with a hollow pasta shape like rigatoni or penne – the sauce fills the hollows beautifully. Add a little hard cheese, fresh chilli and basil, and you’ve got dinner!

Ingredients

250 g Woolworths brozne die penne pasta, cooked
370 ml jar Woolworths peperonata pasta sauce
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
30 g grated medium fat hard cheese, plus extra for sprinkling
2-3 green or red chillies, chopped or sliced

Cooking Instructions

1. Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of generously salted boiling water until al dente.

2. Reserve ½–1 cup of the pasta cooking water before draining.

3. Add the hot, drained pasta to the peperonata pasta sauce and toss to coat, season to taste and sprinkle with grated hard cheese.

4. Add ½ cup of the reserved pasta water, toss to combine and serve immediately sprinkled with chopped chillies and more grated hard cheese.
