This recipe has no real name but to be pretentious let's call it

"pasta a la poivre julienne, avec pesto".

Yes I know that's French, but I don't know Italian.

You will need,

Olive Oil 2tbs

1 medium onion

2-3 small peppers (capsicums) various colours adds to the appeal

100 grams of Mange tout (Snow peas)

Garlic clove (optional)

100 grams of Feta cheese (Substitute any good cheese)

Pasta shapes (enough to satisfy your hunger) your shape of preference.

A jar of Pesto sauce. Comes in 2 varieties, red or green. (I prefer the Red but it's a close fought thing)

Please substitute variations as available, this recipe is only a guide, use your imagination. Broccoli is a good sub for the mange tout.

Preparation.

Wash all vegetables.

Chop the onion and garlic fairly finely.

Slice the peppers into thin strips.

Top and tail the mange tout (snow peas),

Slice the cheese into thin strips.

Bring a saucepan of salted water to the boil, add the pasta, and bring back to boil, and boil vigorously for 6min, stirring occasionally.

After 6 mins turn off the heat, cover and allow to stand for a further 5 mins.

While the pasta is cooking: (I suggest that you do not start this until the first 6mins of the pasta cooking is done, as it is a very fast process.)

Heat the olive oil in a wok ( large frying pan) fry the onions and garlic gently, just soften them. Then add the peppers and fry vigorously, you may have to add a little water (even better white wine), soften the peppers, then add the mange tout, again cook vigorously. When all vegetables are cooked (Should still be some crispness there), remove from heat. Lay the sliced cheese on top of the vegetables.

The pasta should now be cooked, drain and add to the vegetables. Toss the pasta and vegetables together now add about half a jar of pesto, and toss together. Serve immediately. Crusty French bread is a nice accompaniment.

Oh man I can just taste it now!!! Hmmmmm.
