Top Tips:

  • You can cook your pasta before you start making the sauce – just toss it in a little olive oil so it doesn’t stick together whilst you prepare the sauce
  • We recommend cooking your pasta in stock – chicken or veg – for extra flavour
  • If you can’t get every last bit of skin off your peppers, don’t worry too much! Just aim to discard as much skin as possible for a smoother sauce
  • You can cook a large batch of this sauce and freeze in portions – it won’t just go with pasta – serve with fish, chicken, or as a base for a pepper and tomato soup!
  • This recipe is vegetarian – but you can add a meat like chicken if you like!
