Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Penne 100g
  • Green Bell Pepper 1/2
  • Red Bell Pepper 1/2
  • Yellow Bell Pepper 1/2
  • Onion 1/4
  • Heavy Cream 200cc
  • Capers (to taste)
  • Daikon Sprouts (to garnish)
  • Canned Tuna (drained) (to taste)

Seasonings

  • Parmesan Cheese 2 tbsp
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Pepper (to taste)
  • Olive Oil (as needed)
  • Water or Pasta Water (as needed)
  • Black Pepper (to taste)

Steps

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil for the pasta.
  2. Add 100g of penne to the boiling water and cook for approximately 10 minutes.
  3. Thinly slice the green, red, and yellow bell peppers (1/2 each), following their natural curves.
  4. Slice the 1/4 onion into slightly thick pieces.
  5. Heat olive oil as needed in a frying pan and lightly sauté the onion.
  6. Add the sliced bell peppers and sauté over high heat. [The Key Tip!] Sauté quickly over high heat or cook slowly over low heat to draw out the sweetness of the vegetables.
  7. Add a pinch of salt to season the vegetables.
  8. Add a little water or pasta water as needed to the frying pan while sautéing and steam-fry the vegetables. [The Key Tip!] Steaming them while sautéing makes the vegetables moist and tender, further enhancing their sweetness.
  9. Once the vegetables are sufficiently tender, add capers (to taste) and 200cc of heavy cream.
  10. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt if necessary.
  11. Add the drained canned tuna (to taste) and mix well.
  12. Add the cooked and drained penne to the sauce and toss to coat thoroughly.
  13. Adjust the sauce consistency by adding more water or pasta water as needed, then turn off the heat.
  14. Stir in 2 tbsp of Parmesan cheese.
  15. Plate the pasta and garnish with daikon sprouts (to taste).
  16. Sprinkle with black pepper (to taste), if desired.
