capsicum and onion penne(serves 4)

2 tbsp olive oil
1 large red onion, thinly sliced
2 large red capsicums, thinly sliced
salt and pepper (to taste)
60g(ish) baby spinach
a small jar of pesto (my favourite for this is chilli and garlic but just use whatever you can get)
500g dried penne
cheese (to serve)

heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat, then add the capsicum and onion
cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 - 30 minutes or until the capsicum and onion are well cooked
season with salt and pepper, add the baby spinach and cook for another minute, or until the spinach has just started to wilt. turn off the heat
meanwhile, cook the penne according to the directions on the packet
add the cooked penne and the pesto to the pan and mix well to combine
serve topped with cheese

the music recommendation this month is kites by grynpyret. it has been unseasonably warm here over the past few days, and the spring vibe of this song matches the weather perfectly.
