Make

  1. Heat oven to 425 F / 218 C degrees.
  2. Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil. When oil begins to shimmer, add onions and bell peppers and saute until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic, oregano and red pepper flakes and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Add tomatoes (including juice) and stir to combine. Season with some salt and pepper. Simmer until sauce thickens, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir pasta, broccoli and feta (if it won't all fit easily in skillet, transfer to a baking dish coated with non-stick cooking spray). Top with provolone.
  3. Transfer to oven and bake until provolone is melted, 8 to 10 minutes.
  4. Serve pasta hot out of the oven and enjoy!
