Sweet and Sour Peppers with Pasta  

Ingredients

1 red,1 yellow and 1 orange pepper
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 tablespoons capers
2 tablespoons raisins
1 teaspoon wholegrain mustard
rind and juice of 1 lime
1 teaspoon clear honey
2 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander

Directions

Quarter the peppers and remove stalks and seeds. Put the quarters into boiling water and cook for 10-15 minutes, until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water, then peel off the skin and cut the flesh into strips lengthways.

Put the garlic, capers, raisins, mustard, lime rind and juice, honey, coriander and seasoning into a bowl and whisk together.

Cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling, salted water for 10-12 minutes, until al dente. Drain thoroughly.

Return pasta to the pan and add the pepper strips and dressing. Heat gently, tossing to mix. Transfer to a warm serving bowl and serve with a few shavings of parmesan cheese, if using.
