1 medium red bell pepper, cut into very thin strips
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 (2-ounce) can anchovies, drained, optional
¼ cup chopped parsley
½ cup fruity white wine (Muscat, Savignon Blanc or Chenin Blanc)
4 tablespoons grated Romano or Parmesan cheese
Instructions
1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and place in a pasta bowl.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add bell peppers and cook until very tender, about 15 minutes. Add garlic and anchovies, if using, and cook 30 seconds. Add parsley and wine; remove from heat.
3. Spoon ¾ cup of sauce over pasta and toss to blend. Place remaining sauce in a bowl to pass at the table with cheese. Serves 6.
Tips from the Test Kitchen
Tips From Our Test Kitchen: For a thinner sauce, reserve ½ cup of the pasta cooking liquid to add to the sauce at the end of the cooking time. If you prefer not to use wine, substitute chicken broth.
