Directions

  1. In a large stockpot bring salted water to boil.  Put the tomatoes in for 40 to 60 seconds. Remove the tomatoes and rinse under cold water.  Peel the tomatoes then deseed and chop them.  Set aside.
  2. Add the pasta to the boiling water. Cook until al dente, then drain.
  3. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.  Add the garlic and sauté for one minute. Do not let it burn.  Add the crushed red pepper, dried basil (if using fresh add at step 5) and dried oregano. Cook for another minute.  Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 10 minutes stirring occasionally and smashing them against the side of the pan with a fork or spoon.
  4. Add the red peppers and cook for another 10 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.
  5. Turn off the heat.  Add the olives and red wine vinegar. Mix well. Stir in the pasta, taste for seasoning and let sit for 5 minutes to let the flavors combine. Top with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil, if using.
