ingredients
- 1 lb ziti pasta or 1 lb rigatoni pasta
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 sweet red peppers or 2 zucchini, diced
- 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes in puree
- 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
- 1⁄4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

- 2⁄3 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

This recipe was nice. It was like a lasagna as a side-dish. I halved the recipe, used whole-wheat rotelle and a green bell pepper because that's what I had. I think next time I will use the red pepper or some shredded zucchini instead though, and either less noodles or more tomatoes. All in all this was quick and very tasty.Reply
