Notes
If you are using bacon instead of chorizo, sausage, or ham, stir-fry it first until it’s starting to get crispy, then toss in the onions—yum!
Make sure carrots are nice and soft before adding the green bell pepper, and don’t overcook the bell pepper—it should still have a little crunch.
Not a spaghetti fan? Linguini works perfectly too!
Want to jazz it up? Top your dish with Parmesan cheese, a sprinkle of parsley, and some black pepper for extra flavor.
