Supreme Pizza Pasta

Ingredients:

1 large green pepper, chopped
1/3 c. onion, chopped
1/4 c. fresh basil, chopped
24 oz. can Hunt's Meat Pasta Sauce
1 c. Hormel Turkey Pepperoni (70% less fat), chopped
1/4 c. Pasta water
grated Parmesan cheese for garnish
2 c. any style pasta (I used hearts because Valentines Day is in a few days)

In a large skillet, add the onions and green pepper on medium-low heat and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently so that the vegetables sweat, but do not brown or caramelize. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the directions. Before straining the pasta, reserve 1/4 c. of the pasta water. Add the pasta sauce to the vegetables and stir together. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce is heated through. Stir in the fresh basil and the pepperoni. Add the pasta to the sauce and cook for another 2 minutes. Before serving, add grated Parmesan to each serving.
