INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare pasta according to package directions; drain.
Brush the red pepper strips and onion rings lightly with the vegetable oil.
Over medium-hot coals, grill the vegetables until they are very soft, about
8 to 9 minutes.
Mince the tomatoes and put them in a large bowl. Stir in the scallions,
jalapenos, lime juice and salt.
When the peppers and onions are ready, transfer them from the grill to a
cutting board. Cut them into very thin strips and add to the salsa with the
pasta. Toss well. Divide the pasta among four bowls and top each with a
spoonful of sour cream.
*This dish is delicious with the addition of grilled chicken breasts, cut
into thin strips.
