Ingredients
3 Tbsp | Olive oil |
1 | Onion, thinly sliced |
3 cloves | Garlic, thinly sliced |
1 | Red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped |
2 | Red peppers, cored, deseeded, sliced into long thin strips (Main) |
2 | Yellow peppers, cored, deseeded, sliced into long strips (Main) |
4 large | Tomatoes, cores removed and roughly chopped |
1 handful | Fresh basil |
1 serving | Grated parmesan cheese, to serve |
Directions
- Heat oil in a heavy-based saucepan, add onion and cook gently until soft, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and chilli and cook for a further 1 minute. Add the peppers and tomatoes and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Cover and cook over a low heat for 40 minutes until the peppers are soft and tender. There should be lots of liquid around the peppers but it's delicious over pasta.
- Serve tossed through cooked pasta and sprinkle with fresh basil leaves and some freshly grated parmesan.
Kathy recommends
- Remove skins from the tomatoes before cooking if you prefer, or they are easy to pick out once the dish has been cooked.
- Cook about 100g dried pasta per person (I used pappardelle), in lightly salted boiling water until al dente.
