Ingredients
- 2 x 175g Minicaps® baby capsicums
- 200g Mix-a-mato® tomatoes
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 4 green shallots, finely chopped

Method
- Roughly chop the Minicaps®, removing any seeds. Heat half the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Add Minicaps®, shallots and garlic. Cook, stirring often for 20 minutes or until softened. Add the tomatoes and sugar. Cook, shaking the pan for 4 minutes until tomatoes start to soften.
- Remove from the heat, add the vinegar, remaining oil and parsley. Season well.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta following the packet directions. Drain, reserving ¼ cup pasta water. Add the pasta to the peperonata, toss gently, adding pasta water to adjust the consistency. Divide amongst 4 serving plates. Serve with lemon wedges.
Tip- Peperonata sauce makes a delicious pasta salad. Cool the sauce to room temperature, toss with 300g cooked, cooled shell pasta, ¼ cup toasted pine nuts and 60g finely grated parmesan.
