Pasta has always been a favourite for the cook and the family.  Especially welcome on the days that you want to whip something up quickly.  The preparation for this pasta is slightly lengthened due to the roasting of the capsicums.  That little extra effort is rewarded with that lovely roasted taste.  Time can be maximized by roasting and frying at the same time.

Ingredients

  • 2 red capsicums – washed, deseeded, halved
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small spanish onion – peeled, rinsed, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic – peeled, rinsed, crushed
  • 3 medium vine tomatoes – washed, diced
  • 500g / 17oz linguine pasta – pictured wholemeal
  • 1/2 cup green olives – pitted, diced
  • 1 small red birds eye chilli –  washed, sliced finely
  • 1 cup rocket – washed
