Ingredients

  • 3 red peppers
  • 1 lb. spaghetti (can be whole wheat if you want to feel more virtuous)
  • 1 c. freshly shredded or grated Parmesan
  • 2 medium baking potatoes (also can use Yukon gold or baby potatoes)
  • 1 handful watercress or Italian parsley
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt to taste

Method

  • Begin by roasting red peppers. The easiest way to do this is to slice thinly (after removing seeds and stem) and place on cookie sheet. Drizzle with about a tablespoon of olive oil, salt to taste (sea salt is nice) and roast at 450 for 15-20 minutes, until peppers are soft and with some charring along edges.
  • While peppers are roasting, peel and cube potatoes (about 1"
  • cubes) and place in rapidly boiling salted water for 5-8 minutes until soft but still holding their shape. In another pot, cook spaghetti adding 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to the water.
  • Combine peppers, potatoes and pasta in a bowl, adding the remaining 4 tablespoons of olive oil and parmesan. Transfer to pasta bowls. Cut watercress or parsley (chiffonade or just using a scissors directly to the herbs) and sprinkle on top.
