INGREDIENTS

250 g whole wheat penne pasta, dry
3 tablespoons olive oil
100 g white onion (finely chopped)
2 cloves garlic (peeled)
200 g red bell peppers (cleaned)
400 ml vegetable broth
220 g canned chopped tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 handful fresh basil (1 tablespoon dried can also be used)
Salt
Pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

1
First, bring salted water to a boil in a large pot over high heat, which you will use to cook the pasta. Cook the penne according to the package instructions and then drain them.
2
Meanwhile, prepare a large pan and heat olive oil in it over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the onion and whole garlic cloves to the pan and sauté together for 4–5 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
3
Meanwhile, cut the bell pepper into larger pieces (approx. 2 cm × 2 cm). After the specified time, add it to the pan and sauté everything for another 5–6 minutes over medium heat. Once the mixture is sautéed, pour the broth into the pan, add the tomatoes and oregano, and cook everything over medium heat for 12–13 minutes, until the bell pepper softens. Then turn off the heat, add the basil, and blend everything until smooth using an immersion blender. Season with salt and pepper.
4
Add the penne to the smooth sauce, mix, divide into individual portions, and serve.

Tip

Before serving, garnish individual portions with fresh basil and drizzle with quality olive oil.
