Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Over medium-high heat, saute peppers, walnuts and shallots in garlic oil until the vegetables are tender, approximately 5 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Using a fork, quickly blend mustard into vegetables.

  3. Step 3

    Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the pasta, and cook until al dente. Drain well.

  4. Step 4

    Add hot pasta and butter to the vegetable sauce, stirring and tossing quickly, for 15 to 20 seconds, until pasta is well coated.

  5. Step 5

    Add lemon juice and mix well. Serve immediately.

Tip
  • To make garlic oil, simply crush 1 or 2 cloves of garlic and place in a jar of vegetable oil. Store in a cool, dark place for a week or longer. For instant garlic oil, saute 2 crushed cloves of garlic in the oil until garlic is brown. Remove and discard. Use oil immediately.
