Linguine with Red peppers and Kalamata Olives

This vibrant linguine with red peppers and kalamata olives is a masterclass in using store-cupboard staples to create a sophisticated vegetarian meal. The sweetness of the pan-fried peppers provides a beautiful contrast to the salty punch of the olives and the sharp notes of white balsamic vinegar. Fresh basil is used generously here, infusing the pasta with a fragrant, summery aroma that balances the richness of the grated Parmesan.

Ideal for a quick midweek supper, this recipe relies on the simple technique of using starchy pasta water to create a glossy, emulsified sauce that clings to every strand. It is a nutritious and light option for those seeking a meat-free dinner that doesn't compromise on flavour. Serve it in warmed bowls with a final flourish of basil and a little extra cheese for a truly authentic Mediterranean experience.

Ingredients for Linguine with Red peppers and Kalamata Olives

  • 230g linguine

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 large red peppers (14 to 450g ), stemmed, seeded, cut into 1/3-inch cubes

  • 16 Kalamata olives, pitted, quartered

  • 3 large garlic cloves, pressed

  • 1/4 teaspoons (generous) dried crushed red pepper

  • 1 1/4 cups chopped fresh basil, divided

  • 1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese plus additional for passing

  • 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar

Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain, reserving 240ml cooking liquid.

Meanwhile, heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add peppers, olives, garlic, and crushed red pepper. Sauté until peppers are tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add pasta, 1/2 cup reserved pasta cooking liquid, 1 cup basil, 1 cup cheese, and vinegar. Toss until sauce coats pasta, adding more reserved cooking liquid by 60ml fuls if dry, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup basil and serve, passing additional cheese.
