Ingredients
    1/2 cup Bulgar wheat
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 onion, chopped finely
    3 garlic cloves, chopped
    1 red capsicum, diced

Preparation
    Add bulgur wheat to a pan with 1 1/2 C boiling water.
    Reboil, cover and take off the heat to absorb the liquid.
    In your favourite pan, saute onions and garlic in the oil until softened.
    Add capsicum and cook for a further 5 minutes, or until soft.
    Add zucchini, tomatoes, puree, herbs,salt,sugar and pepper.
    Cook over very low heat whilst you are boiling up pasta of your choice.
    Add bulgar, cook for 2-3 minutes and check seasoning.
    I serve this over spaghetti, with parmesan on the side for those who like it.
