How To Make penne rigate dinner/lunch or side

  • Step 1
    Chope up your peppers (red & green) onion, tomatoes, and hot dogs.
  • Use enough cooking olive oil to simmer the red & green peppers, onion, tomatoes and sliced hot dogs to simmer on a medium heat so the tomatoes kinda get soft and release some of the juices.
    Step 2
    Put the pasta in boiling water and cook til Al dente.
  • Step 3
    Brown up the slice hot dogs a little in the medium heated olive oil, then add the rest of ingredients, adding the tomatoes last. Turn the heat down and let simmer a little.
  • I have added the cooked pasta, the simmered veggies, sharp cheese chunks and mix well.
    Step 4
    While the veggies are simmering and the pasta is cooking slice up some sharp cheese very thin to add to the pasta and veggies in bowl when done.
  • Ta`Da ~  delicious !  
Added some ground black pepper and Italian seasoning and of course Parm cheese ~  I sometimes add black olives but didn't have any today.
    Step 5
    Sprinkle your parm cheese, ground pepper on top and serve with a nice fresh wedge of Italian bread !
