    Ingredients

    1 each red, yellow and orange pepper, de-seeded and quartered

    4 vine-ripened tomatoes

    2 tbsp olive oil

    2 garlic cloves, crushed

    1 red chilli, de-seeded and finely chopped

    100ml red wine

    8 pitted green olives, sliced

    Cooked pasta, to serve

    Basil leaves, to garnish

    Method

    1
    Grill the peppers skin side up until the skins start to turn black and blister. Put them in a bowl, cover with cling film and leave for 15 minutes. Remove the skin and slice the flesh into strips.
    2
    Put the tomatoes in a bowl and pour over enough boiling water to cover. Leave for 1 minute, then drain. When cool enough to handle, remove the skin and cut in half. Squeeze out the juice and seeds, and chop the flesh.
    3
    Cook the peppers in the oil over a low heat for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and chilli and cook for 1 minute.
    4
    Stir in the tomatoes and wine, season to taste and bring to the boil. Allow to bubble, uncovered, for 2-3 minutes, then cover and cook over a low heat for 5 minutes. Add the olives, and toss with the pasta and basil leaves to serve.
