Ingredients

serves 6

　　1 pound whole-wheat linguine

　　1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

　　1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

　　4 garlic cloves, minced

　　4 medium red bell peppers, cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick strips

　　1 teaspoon coarse salt

　　

Step 1

Bring 6 quarts water to a boil in a large pot. Add the pasta; cook according to package instructions until al dente.

　　

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat the oil, red pepper flakes, and garlic in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the oil is hot but not smoking, about 2 minutes. Add the bell pepper strips, and cook until very soft, about 20 minutes.

　　

Step 3

Drain the pasta well. Rinse with warm water; shake out excess. Return the pasta to the pot. Stir salt into the bell pepper mixture; add to the pasta, and toss well to coat.
