    From Bon Appétit, http://www.epicurious.com
    Serves 6.
    3 large red bell peppers, seeded, cut into thin strips
    2 tablespoons minced garlic
    8 tablespoons olive oil
    1-1/2 pounds linguine
    1-1/2 cups chopped onions
    3/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts (about 6 3/4 ounces), toasted
    1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
    1-1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
    Additional freshly grated Parmesan cheese
    Combine bell peppers, garlic and 6 1/2 tablespoons oil in large bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and let stand at room temperature 2 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Refrigerate.)
    Cook linguine in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain.
    Meanwhile, heat 1-1/2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions; sauté until tender and brown, about 6 minutes. Add bell pepper mixture; sauté 4 minutes. Add pasta to skillet and toss to coat. Transfer to large bowl. Add walnuts, parsley and 1-1/2 cups cheese; toss to coat. Serve, passing additional Parmesan cheese separately.
