2 Tbs    Olive oil  
4 Cloves    Garlic, minced  
1/4 tsp    Dried hot red pepper flakes  
2 Medium    Orange bell peppers, cut into thin strips  
1 Medium    Red bell pepper, cut into thin strips  
 
3/4 Cup    Dry white wine  
1/2 Cup    Low-sodium chicken broth (or water)  
1/2 Pound    Black (squid ink) pasta of choice*  
1/3 Cup    Finely chopped fresh parsley leaves

In a medium pot, boil enough water for pasta. In a heavy skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and stir until garlic is golden brown. Add the orange and red peppers, with salt to taste. Stir often until peppers soften. Then, add the wine and boil, stirring often, until all the liquid has evaporated. Add the chicken broth (or water) and cover. Simmer until the peppers are tender. (About 5-6 minutes)
In the boiling water, cook desired black pasta until al dente and drain. Add pasta to pepper mix and toss with parsley and salt and pepper to taste. Keep entire mixture over medium heat until heated through and to desired thickness of sauce. Enjoy!
