Notes
Invent Your Recipe:
I have made this spaghetti with peppers and onions recipe many times and with many different types of pasta. I have used penne, rigatoni, farfalle, and rotini to just name a few. But my favorite is spaghetti. There is just something about how twirling the spaghetti around your fork helps to capture the peppers and onions perfectly into each savory bite.
Sometimes when I am looking for something a bit more substantial to eat I will add some grilled chicken strips to this dish. I have also added shrimp and scallops before, so the are many possibilities for changing this recipe to make the dish you will enjoy the most.
