Change the beans or cheese to your liking: white or black beans, reduced-fat cheddar or Monterey Jack cheeses all work well.
If you want to brown the cheese more, place the dish (make sure it’s broiler safe) under the broiler for a minute or two.

Feel free to substitute 1 cup of frozen chopped mixed peppers for the fresh red and green peppers, and 1 cup frozen chopped onions for the fresh onions. Sauté as directed above but make sure all the liquid has evaporated before adding vegetables to the pasta pot.
We sautéed the vegetables to help maximize their flavor but if you’re short on time, you can skip that step without a tremendous impact on taste.
