Instructions

Roast the pepper

1

Preheat your oven to 200°C. Put a Large Saucepan of water with a good pinch of salt on to boil for the pasta. Halve, then remove the core from the red pepper and slice lengthways into ½cm strips. Place on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and a good grind of black pepper. Cook on the top shelf of your oven for 15 mins.

Do the prep

2

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Pick the basil leaves from their stalks and tear into pieces (discard the stalks). TIP: Tearing releases more flavour than chopping.

Make the sauce

3

Heat a splash of olive oil in a frying pan on medium heat. Fry the pancetta until it's crispy round the edges, 4-5 mins. Add the garlic. Cook for 2 mins.

Finish the sauce

4

Add the diced tomatoes along with the smoked paprika (add more or less to taste). Season with a good pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook on medium heat for around 10 mins, until you have a nice thick sauce.

Cook the pasta

5

Meanwhile cook the penne in your pan of boiling water until 'al dente', about 6 mins. TIP: ‘Al dente’ simply means the pasta is cooked through but has a tiny bit of firmness left in the middle. When the pasta is cooked, drain in a colander and stir it into the thickened tomato sauce. Once the pepper is nice and soft, add it to the sauce too.

Serve

6

Scatter the basil leaves over the pasta. Grate on the parmesan cheese and dig in!
