Ingredients
- 800g ripe tomatoes, cut into chunks
- 2 red peppers, deseeded and cut into chunks
- 2 yellow peppers, deseeded and cut into chunks
- 4 garlic cloves, sliced
- Pinch of sugar
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 400g pasta twists or shells
- 75g pitted black olives
- Good handful fresh basil leaves, torn
- 40g shaved vegetarian Parmesan
Method
- Preheat the oven to 220°C/fan200°C/gas 7. Divide the tomatoes, peppers and sliced garlic between 2 roasting tins. Sprinkle with the sugar, drizzle with the oil and season well with salt and pepper. Give the tins a good shake and roast for 40 minutes, stirring halfway.

This was a lovely fresh tasting recipe, I will be making it again. I added a few anchovies into the dish as I happened to have some in the fridge. I melted them in the bottom of the pan once the pasta had been drained and then mixed it all back in the pan together.
