Paccheri with quick-roasted peppers

Serves 4



2 each   yellow and red capsicum, seeds removed, thickly sliced
80 gm   pitted Kalamata olives, crushed
100 ml   extra-virgin olive oil
4   garlic cloves, finely chopped
¼ cup   (loosely packed) marjoram leaves
25 gm   small capers in salt, rinsed, drained
3 tsp   red wine vinegar
400 gm   dried paccheri (see note)
To serve:   shaved parmesan


1 Preheat oven to 250C. Combine capsicum, olives, olive oil, garlic, marjoram, capers and vinegar in a roasting pan, toss to combine and season to taste. Roast, stirring occasionally, until capsicum is tender and starts to caramelise (20-25 minutes).
2 Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling water until al dente (10-12 minutes), drain and toss through capsicum mixture. Serve immediately with parmesan.

Note Paccheri is a large tube-shaped pasta available from select delicatessens. You can substitute another large tubular pasta.
