ingredients
- 6 bell peppers (a mixture of red, yellow or orange)
- 14 ounces pasta, shapes
- 3 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons capers, rinsed and chopped
- 12 ounces tuna packed in brine, drained and flaked
- 12 ounces black olives
- 2 ounces arugula leaves
directions
- Heat the broiler to high. Put the peppers on a baking tray and grill until blackened, turning often to evenly color. Put in a bowl covered with plastic wrap to cool.
- Cook the pasta following the pack instructions then drain and cool under cold running water. Set aside.
- Make the dressing by whisking together the vinegar, oil and some salt and pepper. Stir in the capers then fold through half the pasta and tip onto a platter.
- Once the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel off the blackened skin, remove the seeds and slice the flesh into strips. Add to the pasta.
- Flake on the tuna and scatter the olives and arugula on top. Finish with the remaining dressing. Serve.
