About 6 cups of fusili (or any pasta you have on hand)
1 sweet yellow pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
4 cups of chopped, fresh tomatoes
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Cook the pasta. Sauté the onion, garlic and pepper in a little olive oil for 4 minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes and sauté for a further 2 minutes. Remove from heat, add salt and pepper to taste. Combine with pasta. Squeeze lemon juice* over the whole thing, then mix it up some more. *The original recipe calls for a mixture of lemon juice and olive oil to be used, but I skip the olive oil. For the best taste, let this cool down for at least 30 minutes; you don't want to eat it cold like most pasta salads, just warm. The flavors seem to meld better when it's not served piping hot. This is VERY addictive! It sounds a bit dodgy, but put together, it's definitely one of my favorite foods, ever!
