Ingredients for 4 people
60 gr Florina peppers cut into very thin slices
80 gr hot chili peppers cut into very thin slices
20 gr onion chopped
2 cloves of garlic cut into thin slices
80 ml fine olive oil
10 gr finely chopped parsley
10 gr finely chopped basil
3 tomatoes peeled without seeds, cut in very thin slices
400 gr spaghetti No. 6
Sea salt
Variety of pepper
For finishing
Fresh basil leaves for extra flavor
How to prepare
We prepare our sauce first.
In a wide pot sauté the peppers in olive oil for 4-5 minutes.
Add the onion and garlic and let sauté for 2 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon.
Add the tomatoes and simmer for 10-12 minutes throwing salt and pepper variety. Mix gently and turn down the heat.
After 2 minutes add the fresh herbs.
While in salted boiling water, add the pasta and cook for about 6 minutes.
Strain the pasta and using forceps pour into the sauce, turning so the sauce will go on all the pasta.
If necessary add a little more pepper or salt.
Serve as they are still hot.
Serving
The best way of serving pasta that really makes the difference in the appearance of our dish is to create nests.
It is very simple since with the pasta fork we twirl a small amount of pasta until a small cylinder is created.
In each plate put three or four cylinders.
In the center we put a basil leaf.
Small secrets
If you do not have fresh chili peppers just put Fiorina peppers and simply add dry bukovo.
If we like olives we can put a few slices of black olives also.
If you do not fast you can add a while before serving and a little finely grated feta cheese.
Vegetables “yield” best their aroma and taste when they are cut emince, in lateral cut slices.
The pepper variety also gives pepper aroma and distinctive taste.
