Preparation method

Preheat the oven to 180°C

Slice the peppers lengthwise to create long boats, and lay in a baking dish. Halve the tomatoes and thinly slice the garlic, and distribute each evenly along the peppers. Generously pour over the olive oil, and bake in the oven for half an hour.

In a food processor or pestle and mortar, combine most of the basil, a little salt and a couple of tablespoons of olive oil to create the basil dressing.

Once the peppers are beginning to soften, remove them from the oven and pour on the basil dressing. Add some black pepper, and return to the oven for another 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, boil the pasta according to the packet’s instructions.

Once the peppers are soft and caramelised, remove from the oven and transfer them to a large plate, retaining the flavourful oil. Drain the pasta and toss it in the oil. Serve the pasta topped with the peppers and tomatoes and the remaining chopped basil, and a little grated cheese if desired.
