Why This Recipe Works

We liked this simple pasta sauce recipe with almost any string or ribbon-type pasta except angel hair. Do not use a food processor to chop the bell peppers, as their colors will blend rather than remain distinct. Remember to reserve some of the pasta cooking water to thin the sauce, if necessary.
