On a weekday, accompany this main course with breadsticks and marinated vegetables from the deli. Wrap up with grapes and cookies.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 2 Servings; can be doubled

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 red bell peppers, cut into strips
6 green onions, cut into thin strips
2/3 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
9 ounces fresh linguine
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add peppers; sauté until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Add green onions and sauté 2 minutes. Transfer vegetable mixture to bowl. Add cream and wine to same skillet and simmer until mixture thickens, about 3 minutes. Mix in cheese and all but 1 cup vegetable mixture. Simmer sauce 2 minutes to blend flavors; season with salt and pepper.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid.

    Step 3

    Return pasta to pot. Add sauce and toss to coat over medium heat, adding reserved cooking liquid by tablespoonfuls to moisten, if desired. Mound pasta on plates. Garnish with reserved 1 cup vegetables. Sprinkle with pine nuts.
