Puttanesca Pasta

- 1 large red bell pepper, seeded and roughly chopped
- 1 fresh chili pepper, seeded and finely chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes - more or less, to taste)

- parmigiano-reggiano cheese, freshly grated
- Heat olive oil over a low to moderate flame.
- Gently saute red pepper, chile, and garlic in the olive oil for five minutes.
- Add pounded anchovies to pan with both the fresh and sun-dried tomatoes and saute a few minutes until anchovies melt.
- Add olives and capers, and stir gently until heated through.
- When done, add parsley, and gently mix through sauce.
- Season with a few grinds of black pepper.
- Do not add salt!
- Toss immediately with hot, freshly cooked spaghetti, pass the Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, and serve with a fresh green salad (and a good Coonawarra red!
