Pasta For One

Isn't that such a sad title? But alas, I am flying solo for the next couple days. By flying I mean doing a lot of sitting on my bed...but anyways.  When it came time to eat dinner yesterday, I looked at the meager contents of my fridge and just started pulling out ingredients.  I wanted something that was going to be easy and filling.

So I came up with this pasta for one and thought I would share it because it's pretty bomb.

Ingredients:

* Olive Oil

* Black pepper

* Salt

* Red pepper flakes

* Minced garlic

* Red bell pepper

* Onion

* White wine

* Pasta (I used Penne, but it would work with any kind)

I started out by cutting up half a red bell pepper and onion.  

Once that was ready I started boiling the water for the pasta.  

Then I heated up my small skillet and added enough olive oil to coat the bottom.  

I tossed in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes and let them cook there for only 30 seconds before I put in the onion and bell pepper.  

The water was boiling so I salted it and put the pasta in (I used two handfuls just for me).  

Once the bell pepper and onion were almost done I added the white wine.

I don't know how much exactly, but it was enough to make it coat the pasta completely.

 

 I let that cook down until the pasta was done...

Which shouldn't take too long.

I just tossed it all together and got to eatin'.  It was yummy and I was a happy girl.
