Instructions

1. 1. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of rapeseed oil over medium heat. Add 1 diced yellow onion, 1 sliced red bell pepper, and 1 sliced yellow bell pepper. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
2. 2. Add 3 minced garlic cloves to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes, being careful not to brown the garlic.
3. 3. Stir in 2 1/2 cups of diced tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of whole fresh basil leaves, and mix well. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
4. 4. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and let the mixture simmer for 8-10 minutes. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of water to adjust the consistency.
5. 5. While the sauce mixture is simmering, cook 1 lb of penne pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta, ensuring it remains slightly firm (al dente).
6. 6. To serve, place the cooked penne pasta on a large serving platter. Spoon the pepper and tomato mixture over the pasta and gently mix to combine.
7. 7. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese over the dish and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve immediately with a green salad and crusty bread, if desired.
