Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

7 ounces penne -- (7-8)

salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 onion -- peeled, chopped

1 red bell pepper -- deseeded, chopped

1 garlic clove -- crushed

1 dried chilli -- crumbled

or chili powder (to taste)

15 ounces chopped tomatoes in juice -- (canned)

1 tablespoon drained capers

1 tablespoon chopped sun-dried tomatoes

2 tablespoons black olives -- stoned

grated or flaked fresh Parmesan (optional)

 

 

Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil for the pasta.

 

Heat the oil in a medium saucepan and add the onion and red pepper. Stir, then

cover and cook gently for 7 minutes until the vegetables soften.

 

Add the garlic, crumbled chilli or chilli powder, tomatoes, capers, sun-dried

tomatoes and olives. Cook, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally,

until the sauce has thickened. Season with salt and pepper.

 

About 10 minutes before the sauce is ready, put the pasta into the boiling

water, along with a tablespoonful of salt. Cook until the pasta is al dente.

Drain the pasta and return it to the still-warm saucepan.

 

Either mix in the tomato sauce or toss the pasta in a tablespoon of olive oil,

serve it on warmed plates and pour the sauce on top. Serve the parmesan

separately if using.
