Notes

Notes:
  • For the Sauce, you can use a combination of Red, Yellow or Orange Bell Peppers. Make sure to use at least 1 Red Pepper as it has stronger flavor and adds more depth and color to the dish.
  • Cook the pasta until you can still break it with your hands. Don't cook it for too long as it's going to cook with the sauce again.
  • You can use spinach instead of kale or skip it altogether.
