Preparation

Step 1

1. Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Place bell pepper in a colander; drain pasta over bell pepper. Combine pasta, bell pepper, tomatoes, and remaining ingredients in a large bowl; toss gently. Serve immediately.


Draining the pasta over the bell pepper works great - it cooks the strips slightly before you toss them with the rest of the ingredients
