How to make tagliatelle with sweet pepper sauce

  • Trim and deseed the peppers and cut into narrow strips.
  • You can make the sauce with green peppers alone if you wish, but the red and yellow varieties are sweeter and make the dish look more colourful.
  • Blanch the peppers for a minute in boiling salted water, refresh in cold water, then drain.
  • Heat the olive oil in a pan, add the garlic and onions and cook gently, stirring, until soft.
  • Add the tomatoes, tomato puree and basil.
  • Break up the tomatoes with a wooden spoon and simmer for about 5 minutes.
  • Season to taste and blend the sauce in a blender.
  • Return to the pan over a very low heat and add the peppers.
  • Cook the pasta in a large pan with plenty of water to which you have added a little oil and the salt.
  • The water should be at a full rolling boil.
  • The pasta will be ready in about 9 minutes.
  • Drain and divide between individual warmed serving bowls.
  • Spoon the sauce over each helping of pasta and serve at once with Parmesan cheese.
