I tried this pasta when I was in Israel--it's perfect for summer! It's really light but filling and super easy to make. If you really like or dislike lemon juice, you can edit the ratio of lemon juice to olive oil to suit your taste.

  • Pour olive oil and lemon juice in a skillet over medium heat; stir until combined, 1 to 2 minutes. Add red bell peppers and za'atar. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.

  • Drain ziti and return to the pot. Pour pepper mixture over pasta. Mix until peppers are dispersed evenly throughout.

Cook's Notes:

Za'atar is a Middle Eastern spice mix. It's also known as hyssop with sesame seeds.

Penne pasta also works.
