Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package fettuccine noodles
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, roughly chopped
  • 2 bell peppers (yellow or orange), roughly chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 (4 ounce) log goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
  • shredded Parmesan cheese as a garnish

Directions

  1. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in the fettuccine, bring back to a boil, and cook pasta over medium heat until cooked through but still firm to the bite, according to package directions; drain water, reserving 1 cup pasta water.
  2. Melt butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add onions and peppers. Cook and stir 3-4 minutes. Add garlic, and sauté for another minute.
  3. Add cherry tomatoes, salt, and pepper to pepper, onion, garlic mixture; cook and stir, crushing tomatoes to desired consistency, until heated through, 4-5 minutes.
  4. Mix fettuccine into vegetable mixture, adding as much reserved pasta water to keep pasta moist.
  5. Stir goat cheese and basil into pasta mixture.
  6. Serve with shredded Parmesan cheese.
