What it is
Harmons Red Bell Pepper Campanelle is a dried pasta product. It is shaped like a bellflower, with ruffled edges and a hollow center. This particular variety is infused with the flavor and color of red bell peppers. The pasta is made from durum wheat semolina and real red bell pepper powder. It is a convenient way to add a subtle sweetness and vibrant hue to pasta dishes. The campanelle shape is designed to hold sauces well.

To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the campanelle pasta and cook according to package directions, typically around 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving some of the cooking water. You can then toss it with your favorite sauce, such as a light tomato sauce, a creamy Alfredo, or a simple olive oil and garlic dressing. The bell pepper flavor will complement many different flavor profiles. Consider adding fresh herbs or cheese for extra taste.
