Equipment

• One non-stick pot
• Nothing special, just large enough to cook a single serving of angle hair pasta.
• Chef's knife.

Ingredients

• 2oz Angle Hair Pasta
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips.
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp butter
• I rock unsalted but salted works, too.
• 1 tsp garlic paste or minced garlic
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper 
• 1 tbsp sliced green onions
• 1 tsp furikake seasoning

Preparation

• Cook the pasta per the instructions on the pasta package, drain and hold off to the side in a bowl for later.
• In the same non-stick pot, over medium heat, add cooking oil/spray and sliced red pepper. Cook until tender.
• About 10 minute, stir occasionally
• Once cooked, hold peppers off to the side in a bowl.
• In the same non-stick pot, over medium heat, add butter garlic, and black pepper.
• Combine the melting butter, garlic, and black pepper with a silicone spatula.
• This shouldn't take long, about a minute tops.
• In the same non-stick pot, add the previously cooked angle hair pasta and red peppers and toss together until everything is well combined and thinly coated in garlic butter.
• Plate the pasta, sprinkle some furikake and green onions over the top of it and enjoy!
