These bell peppers are a vegetable and pasta course in one. They should be luscious and soft, with a wrinkled browned exterior. The garlicky tomatoes keep the pasta moist, and the pepper flakes and pecorino give a hint of sharpness.This is a good antipasto and also a good accompaniment for fish.Unknown source
