Instructions
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.

Add the bell peppers and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and cook over moderate heat until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
Cook the penne in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente.
Drain the penne and return it to the pot.
Add the sauce to the pasta along with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a warmed bowl.
Serve at once, passing the cheese separately.
Wine Recommendation: The sweet yellow peppers and tart tomato sauce in this simple pasta dish need the contrast of a crisp white with some herbal character. Consider a California Sauvignon Blanc, such as the 1997 Groth or the 1997 Silverado.
