Directions

1. Fill one large pot halfway with water(add several dashes of salt and 3 table spoons of olive oil), put on stove-top on high. Wait for water to boil, add penne. Boil, stirring occasionally, for 9-11 minutes( 9 is al dente, 11 is softer). Pour into strainer and leave to cool.
2. While waiting for the water to boil, take your onion/s(cut off top and bottom, peel) and cut in half. Then slice each half into strips. Set aside on plate. If water is boiling now, put in penne pasta, set your timer for 9-11 minutes.
3. Take your bell peppers, cut top all the way around, twist and pull off top with guts attached. Slice off bottom. Cut peppers in half, slice off other gut portions. Cut pieces in half again, then slice peppers into 1.5-2 inch strips. Cut the rest of the good portions of peppers and place strips and other parts onto place. The penne pasta should be ready now, so pour into strainer and let sit.
