Preparation:
To prepare these tasty Spaghetti with Peppers and Tomato Sauce, there are some important steps that you need to follow carefully to get an excellent result.
First of all, it is essential to blend half the pepper, the garlic, the chillies, half the peeled tomatoes and the red wine together, until a homogeneous and fragrant sauce is created. This sauce will then be used to flavor the pasta and make it even tastier.
Next, it is necessary to prepare a sauté with the chopped onion in a pan, and then add the remaining peeled tomatoes and the pureed pepper sauce. Season with salt and leave to simmer for about 20 minutes, so that the flavors merge and a delicious harmony of tastes is created.
In the meantime, bring a pot of salted water to the boil and cook some Spaghetti or the desired pasta following the instructions on the package. When the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it to the prepared pepper sauce, stirring gently to distribute the sauce evenly over the tortiglioni.
Thanks to their shape, Spaghetti perfectly capture the delicious pepper sauce on their surface, guaranteeing an explosion of flavors in every bite.
Finally, serve the pasta piping hot and accompany it with a good, intense and balanced red wine, such as a Carignano del Sulcis or a Tuscan Montepulciano with their notes of strawberry tree and pomegranate which further enhance the strong flavors of the tomato and pepper sauce.
And now, all you have to do is taste these delicious Spaghetti with peppers and tomato sauce!
Enjoy your meal!
