Step-by-Step Instructions
First, let’s cook the macaroni. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and cook the macaroni according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain it in a colander and set it aside. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and bell peppers, sautéing until they soften and release a delightful aroma—about 3-4 minutes. The colors are so vibrant, making me even more excited for the upcoming mix of flavors. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
