How to Make Fettuccine With Beef And Peppers

  1. Cook 1 pound fettuccine according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside, covering to keep warm.
  2. While the pasta cooks, brown 1 pound ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until thoroughly cooked, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Add 1 large onion, chopped, and 2 bell peppers (any color or combination), chopped, to the skillet. Cook and stir for 4-6 minutes, or until the peppers are crisp-tender.
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup half-and-half, 1/4 cup pesto (store-bought or homemade), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until heated through and well combined, stirring occasionally.
  6. Serve immediately and garnish with extra pesto and grated Parmesan cheese (optional).
