We have two kinds of spaghetti in the house: summer spaghetti and spaghetti a la Prego. But what to do when the pantry is devoid of our loving Prego and it's the dead of winter? Improvise of course.
Here's a quick twist on our summer spaghetti using only what we had in the fridge already. Instead of summer squash and zucchini, we used red and green peppers. Instead of white wine, red to make it a bit bolder. Instead of fresh herbs we opted for the dry version. An easy (and inexpensive) meal!
1 cup of chopped onion
1 cup of chopped green pepper
1/2 cup of chopped red pepper
3 tbsp of minced garlic
2 tbsp of olive oil
1 (28oz) can of diced tomatoes
1 tbsp red wine
1 1/3 tbsp sugar
dried basil and oregano
salt and pepper
angel hair pasta
parmesan cheese
Directions:
Saute garlic and half of the onions in the olive oil. Slowly add the remaining onion, green pepper and red pepper. Saute for 5 minutes. Add diced tomatoes and 1 tbsp of wine. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add sugar and season with basil, oregano, pepper and salt to taste.
Cook angel hair pasta. Serve tomato dish over pasta and top with parmesan cheese!

Yum. Spagetti is on my list this week and I think I might give your sauce a go :)
