Number Of Ingredients 13

2 red bell peppers
2 yellow bell peppers
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 pounds tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup pitted brine-cured black olives (such as Kalamata), chopped
1/4 cup drained capers
2 tablespoons chopped fresh marjoram or 2 teaspoons dried
1/2 cup water
1 pound medium pasta shells
1 cup freshly grated pecorino Romano cheese (about 3 ounces)

Steps:

  • Char peppers over gas flame or in broiler until blackened on all sides. Enclose in paper bag. Let stand 10 minutes. Peel, seed and chop peppers.
  • Heat oil in large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic and half of parsley; sauté 3 minutes. Add peppers, tomatoes and next 4 ingredients. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cool. Cover; refrigerate. Bring to simmer before using.)
  • Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain. Return pasta to pot. Add sauce and 1/2 cup cheese; toss. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to large bowl. Sprinkle with remaining parsley. Serve, passing 1/2 cup cheese separately. v

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover roasted peppers. I also added some diced zucchini and sun-dried tomatoes, and it turned out amazing!

I made this pasta salad for a picnic and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved the unique and flavorful combination of ingredients. The roasted peppers and capers added a nice touch of smokiness and tanginess.

This summer pasta is the perfect summertime dish! It's light and refreshing, with a flavorful combination of olives, roasted peppers, and capers. I added some grilled chicken for protein, and it was a delicious and satisfying meal.
