A vibrant and flavorful pasta dish featuring sweet and tangy peppers, perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
Quarter the bell peppers and remove the seeds and stems.
Cutting the peppers into uniform pieces ensures even cooking.
Boil the peppers in a large pot of water for about 10 minutes until tender.
Adding a pinch of salt to the water enhances the peppers' natural sweetness.
Drain the peppers and rinse under cold water, then peel off the skins and slice into strips.
Rinsing under cold water makes peeling easier and stops the cooking process.
In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, capers, raisins, lime zest and juice, honey, and chopped cilantro. Whisk together to form a dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Cook the pasta in boiling salted water according to package instructions, then drain thoroughly.
Stir the pasta occasionally to prevent sticking.
Combine the cooked pasta, peppers, and dressing in the pot. Toss gently over low heat to mix and warm through.
Heating gently helps the flavors meld without overcooking the ingredients.
Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with shaved Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
