Ingredients

  • 360 g scialatielli pasta or tagliatelle/fettuccine
  • 2 yellow bell peppers
  • 250 g cherry tomatoes
  • 2 garlic cloves peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 handful fresh basil leaves
  • 1 handful fresh parsley
  • 40 g walnuts
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 tablespoon breadcrumbs
  • salt for pasta and to taste
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 3-4 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil.

Instructions

  • Wash the peppers, cut them into pieces and fry them in olive oil with 1 peeled and finely chopped garlic clove, salt and pepper. Brown them, add a few spoonfuls of water, cover and cook until they are soft. 
  • Blend or pulse the cooked pepper mixture together with some basil and parsley leaves and set aside
  • Cut the cherry tomatoes in half, oven roast or fry them quickly with a little oil, 1 peeled and finely chopped garlic clove and salt, until they start to soften and brown. Turn the heat off and mix with 1 tablespoon of breadcrumbs. (I roasted them)
  • In a blender or food processor mix the walnuts, sesame seeds and the rest of the breadcrumbs.
  • Cook the pasta al dente according to the instructions on the packet or if fresh, normally 1-3 minutes depending on the thickness of the pasta.  
  • Drain the pasta and add it to the fried tomatoes, add the pepper mixture and mix everything together well.
  • Before serving sprinkle with the breadcrumb mixture, and a little chopped parsley, basil and walnuts.

Notes

This recipe can be made with other types of flat pasta such as tagliatelle or fettuccine. Scialatielli are thicker, but I'm sure the dish will be just as delicious!
