Three-Pepper Pork Pasta

"A delicious adaptation from Mario Batalli's Ragusa Shepherd's Pasta. The peppers lend a very unique sweetness, and the pork is a nice change from regular meat sauce. I made a few changes to his original recipe, including cutting back on oil and replacing green peppers with another colored pepper, and adding more pork."
