Cooking Our Way

(My version of one of TGI Fridays specialties)

1 10 oz. box penne
fresh parsley chopped
1 med. onion chopped
1 14 oz can artichoke hearts drained
1 green pepper cut into sm. Squares
1 to 1 ½ cups marinara sauce
¾ c. shredded mozzarella cheese
1 lg. fresh tomato diced
¼ c. fresh basil leaves, chopped
Salt if desired

Cook pasta and set aside.  Sauté onion until nearly done, then add green pepper and basil.  Cook until pepper is tender crisp. Add marinara sauce, artichokes which have been quartered and fresh tomato.  Bring just to the boil and gently toss in pasta until very hot.  Serve in bowls—half fill with pasta mixture, a layer of cheese and end with pasta.
