Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Prepare the Base
If you’re using pasta or potatoes, cook them first until just tender. Drain well and set aside. Slightly undercooking is ideal, as they will finish cooking in the oven.
Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables
Heat a large skillet over medium heat with a bit of oil or butter. Add sliced onions and bell peppers. Cook slowly, stirring often, until softened and lightly caramelized. This step builds sweetness and depth of flavor.
If using mushrooms, add them during the last few minutes of cooking. Remove vegetables from the pan and set aside.
