Ingredients
- 360 g scialatielli pasta or tagliatelle/fettuccine
- 2 yellow bell peppers
- 250 g cherry tomatoes
- 2 garlic cloves peeled and finely chopped
- 1 handful fresh basil leaves
- 1 handful fresh parsley
- 40 g walnuts
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoon breadcrumbs
- salt for pasta and to taste
- Ground black pepper to taste
- 3-4 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil.
Instructions
- Wash the peppers, cut them into pieces and fry them in olive oil with 1 peeled and finely chopped garlic clove, salt and pepper. Brown them, add a few spoonfuls of water, cover and cook until they are soft.
- Blend or pulse the cooked pepper mixture together with some basil and parsley leaves and set aside
- Cut the cherry tomatoes in half, oven roast or fry them quickly with a little oil, 1 peeled and finely chopped garlic clove and salt, until they start to soften and brown. Turn the heat off and mix with 1 tablespoon of breadcrumbs. (I roasted them)
- In a blender or food processor mix the walnuts, sesame seeds and the rest of the breadcrumbs.
- Cook the pasta al dente according to the instructions on the packet or if fresh, normally 1-3 minutes depending on the thickness of the pasta.
- Drain the pasta and add it to the fried tomatoes, add the pepper mixture and mix everything together well.
- Before serving sprinkle with the breadcrumb mixture, and a little chopped parsley, basil and walnuts.

Notes
- This recipe can be made with other types of flat pasta such as tagliatelle or fettuccine. Scialatielli are thicker, but I'm sure the dish will be just as delicious!
