Preparation
1.

Rinse the peppers, remove the ribs and seeds and cut into small, bite-sized strips. Rinse and halve the cherry tomatoes. Rinse the scallions and slice thinly. Rinse the basil, pat dry and cut the leaves into strips. Peel and finely chop the garlic and the onions.

Add the drained pasta and the white balsamic vinegar to the pan. Toss well to combine everything.
