Cooking Steps
- Add spaghetti to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min.
- Reserve 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) pasta water, then drain and return pasta to the same pot, off heat.
- Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then the mirepoix. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 2-3 min.

- Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Add peppers and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to an unlined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. Roast in the middle of the oven, stirring halfway through, until tender, 14-15 min.
