Ingredients

150 g pasta
1 tablespoon cooking oil
1 pepper red, orange or yellow, cut into slices
1-2 birdseye chilli peppers thinly sliced
1 onion peeled and sliced
1 clove garlic crushed
2 tablespoon tomato puree
400 g tinned chopped tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried oregano or basil
3 tomatoes cut into wedges
30 g cheese grated (optional)

Instructions

Put the pasta on to boil until al dente.
Stir fry the pepper and chilli pepper with a little oil.
Add the onions and garlic. I like to still have a little crunch in the onions but you could add then earlier if you prefer them to be softer.
Then, add the tomato puree, chopped tomatoes and oregano. Bring to the boil and simmer. Stir in the fresh tomatoes near the end and heat through.
When the pasta is done, the sauce is ready. Serve with grated cheese on top.
