Penne with vegetables (variation with cream)

Ingredients (Serves 2):

1/2 a pepper in 3 different colors (looks matter!)
1/2 medium sized red onion
1 garlic clove
100ml single cream
1 tbsp olive oil
200g of Penne Pasta

Directions

Bring a large pan of water to boil, salt it with a small fist of salt and throw in the pasta.
While the pasta cooks, heat up the olive oil in a pan. Toss in the crushed garlic clove and chopped onion for 3-4 minutes on a medium flame. Cut the peppers in thin strips and throw them in. Add the fresh cream to the mix when the vegetables have been cooking for another 3-4 minutes. Tip: keep the sauce pan covered with a lid, if the mix gets too dry add some water from the pasta. I like to add some ground nutmeg to add an extra flavor to the sauce.
Mix with the pasta (after draining!) with the sauce and season to taste with parsley, freshly ground black pepper and salt. Enjoy!
