1-2 cups tri colored peppers, sliced in strips
1/2 cup white zinfandel wine (or any white wine thats not too sweet)
salt & pepper to taste
handful of thin spaghetti or angel hair pasta
GARNISH - shredded parmesan & chopped italian parsley (optional)
Directions

melt butter in pan
saute garlic and onions in butter over high heat til tender
add wine and peppers and reduce for a few minutes until alcohol is cooked off
