Peppers and Onions Cracked Pepper Fettuccine

Peppers and onions are a classic combination that works great with all types of food. In this case, they are paired with bacon and our Pastamore Gluten-free Cracked Pepper Fettuccine. The sweetness of the vegetables pairs great with the saltiness of the bacon and punch of the cracked pepper pasta. For this recipe, I baked the bacon in the oven at 400ºF until crispy.

Ingredients:
1 12 oz package - Pastamore Gluten-free Cracked Pepper Fettuccine
6 slices - bacon, cooked
1/2 - medium white onion
1 - green bell pepper
1 Tbsp - olive oil
1/4 tsp - garlic powder
To taste - salt

Directions:
1. Heat a large pot of water on the stove over high heat. Roughly chop bacon.

2. Peel onion and thinly slice one half. Rinse green pepper, cut in half from top to bottom, and remove stem and seeds. Slice into 1/4" thick pieces and then cut in half. Heat a large frying pan on the stove over medium-high heat. Add half of the olive oil and allow to heat. Once hot, add the peppers and onions. Stir often and season to taste. Cooked until browned.

3. Add Pastamore Gluten-free Cracked Pepper Fettuccine to the pot of boiling water. Cook until al dente and drain using a colander. Rinse throughly with water and return to the cooking pot over medium heat.

4. Add cooked bacon, peppers and onions, garlic powder, and remaining olive oil. Mix well and season to taste with salt.
