Directions

1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a deep frying pan. Add the onions and garlic and cook very gently until the onions soften.
2. Add the peppers, tomatoes, basil and salt and pepper to taste. Cover and cook gently for 10 minutes.
3. Remove the lid from the pan and cook over a fairly high heat until most of the moisture has evaporated. Keep warm.
4. Meanwhile cook the noodles in plenty of boiling salted water until just tender.
5. Drain the noodles thoroughly and toss in the remaining olive oil; add salt and pepper to taste.
6. Divide the noodles among 4 serving plates and spoon the hot peperonata over the top.
7. Garnish with sprigs of fresh basil and serve immediately, as a light main course with a salad.
