Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Olives and Sweet Peppers

Italian pasta is one of the most popular Mediterranean dishes. Pasta from durum wheat varieties are combined with almost any ingredients – from vegetables to seafood. You can cook pasta every day and at the same time never repeat, adding new tastes to the usual food. Today we will cook penne – short corrugated tubules, which are particularly loved by the Italians. Due to their ribbed surface, they capture the maximum of the sauce – tomato, white, meat or vegetable. In the paste, we will add dried tomatoes (you can easily replace them with fresh tomatoes), green olives and sweet peppers. As a result, you will get an amazing combination of bright tastes that every member of your family will surely like.
