Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound dried fettuccine (see Cook's Note)
Two 14-ounce cans artichoke hearts, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
1 cup chopped roasted red peppers

  • Heat the olive oil in a large high-sided skillet or braiser over medium heat. Add the roasted red peppers, olives, capers and red pepper flakes and sauté until warmed through, about 2 minutes.
