Bell Pepper-Feta Pasta Toss

By: Cooking Light magazine 
"This complete meal contains only 7 ingredients and takes under 30 minutes to prepare. Draining the pasta over the bell pepper may seem an unusual procedure, but it works great. This method cooks the pepper strips slightly before you toss them with the rest of the ingredients."
