Inspired by another thread, here's a place to post recipes that you've acquired, and always think of/call by the name of the original giver, even if it's several removes from you.
To start, here's Francesca's Pepper Pasta:
2 red and/or yellow peppers
1 tin chopped tomatoes
1 onion
1 small tub single cream*
salt
black pepper
chilli powder
Chop the onion finely, and fry in olive oil. Add diced peppers, plus salt, black pepper and chilli to taste (we don't use much and often replace with sweet smoked paprika). Add some water (half a glass) and cook until the water has gone and the peppers are soft. Then add the tomatoes, a touch more salt and a little spoon of sugar. Check for seasoning and add more pepper and/or chilli if required. When the tomatoes are cooked (20 mins or so, IME) add the cream. While the tomatoes are cooking, cook some penne, mix pasta and sauce and serve.
*we often make it without cream, though it's nicer with.
*Francesca is an old friend of DH's and now mine, lovely lovely Italian woman who gave me a few recipes when she once stayed at my house in ork.
