Sweet Pepper And Onion Fusilli

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of water to boil. Chop garlic and set aside. Roughly chop oregano leaves and set aside.

   In a large frying pan over medium heat, toast pine nuts, stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside. In the same pan, melt 1 tbsp. butter with 2 tsp. olive oil. Increase heat to high and add half of the peppers and 1/4 tsp. salt. Cook peppers, stirring frequently, until soft and browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer peppers to a plate with a slotted spoon, leaving as much of the butter and oil in the pan as possible. Repeat with remaining peppers, 1/4 tsp. salt, and sweet onions. Remove frying pan from heat and reserve.

   Add remaining 1 tbsp. salt and fusilli to boiling water and cook until pasta is tender to the bite, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.

   Meanwhile, heat reserved frying pan over medium-high heat, add remaining 1 tsp. olive oil and the chopped garlic, and cook until fragrant but not browned, about 1 minute. Add reserved peppers and pine nuts. Cook, stirring, until well combined. Add pepper mixture and reserved oregano to cooked fusilli and toss to combine. Add 1/2 cup feta cheese and remaining 1 tbsp. butter. Toss until butter melts and everything is well combined. Divide among 6 plates or pasta bowls. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup feta cheese and serve immediately.
