How to Make Fusilli Four Color Pasta

  1. Finely chop 1 medium red onion. Sauté in 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add 1 red bell pepper (finely chopped), 1 yellow bell pepper (finely chopped), and 1 zucchini (diced) to the pan. Cook until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in 2 cloves minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  4. Add 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Meanwhile, cook 1 pound fusilli pasta according to package directions.
  6. Once the sauce has thickened slightly, add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil (optional). Enjoy!
