- 3 medium sized red peppers
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 big onion, cutted into thin slices
- 2 -4 garlic cloves
- 14-12 teaspoon chili pepper, cutted thinly (fresh, dry or ground)
- 12 cup cream (optional)
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- 2 teaspoons fresh oregano, cutted (or dry oregano to taste)
- 500 g linguine (spinach pasta is a good option!) or 500 g spaghetti (spinach pasta is a good option!)
- Cut the red peppers in half, cut off the nerves (membranes) and take out the seeds.
- Put the red peppers (with the cutted side down)on a roasting pan in the oven and grill for about 8 minutes, until the skin singes and looks like it s burned.
- Take them out of the oven, let them cool covered with a moist towel, then peel them and cut them in thin slices.
- Heat the olive oil in a casserole and cook the onion at low heat for about 8 minutes, until the onion is soft.
- Throw in the red peppers, the garlic, the chili and the cream, let cook for about 2 minutes, stirring from time to time.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and add the oregano.
- While the sauce is cooking, cook the linguines in a big casserole with boiling water until the linguines are "al dente".
- Drain well, then return the linguines to the casserole.
- Add the sauce over the hot pasta and mix.
- Serve the linguines on warm soup plates.
- **You can use dried oregano if you dont have fresh, but in smaller quantities.
- You can adjust the hotness to your likeness (use as much chili as you want).
- If you want a sauce with a stronger pepper taste, don t use the 1/2 cup of cream.
