# Anchovies and Roasted Red Pepper Pasta A simple, punchy pasta with roasted red peppers, anchovies and garlic. ## Ingredients - 6 red bell peppers - ½ cup olive oil - 5-6 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped - 3 x 2-oz cans anchovy fillets (keep the oil) - ¾ cup chopped fresh parsley - Grated parmesan cheese - Cracked black pepper - 12 oz spaghetti or linguine ## Method 1. Cut the peppers in half lengthwise, remove seeds and stems and place on a baking sheet skin side up. Roast under the broiler for about 12-15 minutes until the skins are blistering and starting to blacken. Cool and then peel off the skins. Cut the roasted peppers into ¼ inch strips. 2. In a large skillet, heat the oil over moderate to high heat. Throw in the oil from the anchovy cans as well to add flavor. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the anchovies and mash them with a spoon into the oil. Add the peppers and sauté another 2 minutes. 3. Toss in the parsley and stir briefly. Serve over cooked pasta with plenty of parmesan cheese and cracked black pepper. **Serves:** 4
