Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 1 onion small red, diced
- 2 Sweet Bell Pepper Or 6 mini sweet peppers, diced, seeds and membranes removed
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian herb mix
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
- 14 ounce diced tomatoes I like to use fire-roasted, canned
- 28 ounce marinara sauce jar, pasta sauce
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 pound short-grain pasta Use gluten-free pasta if necessary, such as Banza or gluten-free Barilla, like penne, rigatoni, ziti or medium shells
- 1 cup water Use if needed, optional
Instructions
- Prepare campfire: Heat coals until they are very hot, or let a campfire burn down until the wood is smoldering but without active flames.Add oil, diced onion, peppers, garlic, herbs and red pepper flakes to the Dutch oven. Set oven uncovered on coals. Cook about 3 minutes, or until the onions begin to sizzle.
- Add the diced tomatoes, and cook about 1 minute, or until the liquid begins to simmer.
- Add the broth and tomato sauce. Bring to a boil.
- Add the pasta and stir. Make sure the pasta is covered in water, adding additional broth or water if needed.
- Simmer the pasta in the broth until the pasta is tender and most of the broth is absorbed (about 15 minutes, depending on the type of pasta and how hot your campfire is). Stir the pasta often while cooking, making sure to scrape the bottom of the pot often to prevent sticking.
- If you hear the pasta sizzling, it's sticking to the pot. Add a little more water and stir to release any bits of pasta that stuck.
- Once the pasta is tender, remove it from the heat. If the pasta seems dry, add a little more water and stir.
- Serve immediately.
