INGREDIENTS
| 1/2 | lb | Ziti or other tubular pasta, uncooked |
| 1 | lg | Portobello mushroom, halved and sliced 1/4 inch thick |
| 3 | tb | Balsamic vinegar plus 2 tablespoons water |
| 1 | c | Fatfree sour cream or plain yogurt or ricotta cheese |
| 2 | Cloves (at least) garlic, crushed | |
| 1 | Sweet red bell pepper | |
| Salt/pepper to taste, optional |
INSTRUCTIONS
"Saute" the mushroom slices in the vinegar/water mixture until the liquid is evaporated and the mushrooms are quite wilted and decreased in size, at least 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the broiler and bring a large pot of water to a boil. Split the pepper in half lengthwise, deseed, and place on a baking sheet skin side up. Roast the pepper until the skin is charred, checking frequently after the first 3 minutes. When the pepper is charred, remove from the oven and place the halves in a closed brown paper bag for 10 minutes or so. When the water boils, add the pasta. When the pepper is cool, peel and cut into 1/2 inch strips. In a blender, place the sour cream or yogurt or ricotta, the garlic, the pepper strips, and the salt/pepper if using. Puree. When the pasta is al dente, drain, and place it back in the pot. Top with mushroom and sauce and stir to coat.
