Fresh Pasta with Sweet Pepper Sauce recipe

For the pasta

225 g (8 oz) plain flour
hanful of fresh chives, chopped
2 eggs
enough olive oil, to bind
pinch of salt

For the sweet pepper sauce

1 tbsp olive oil
1 red pepper, de-seeded and sliced
1 tbsp tomato ketchup
splash of red wine
2 tbsp caster sugar
salt
freshly ground black pepper

To serve

55 g (2 oz) feta cheese, crumbled
black pepper
fresh basil leaves, torn

method

1. Bring a large pan of water to the boil.

2. To make the pasta, place the flour, chives, egg and salt into a food processor and blend together for a few seconds.

3. Gradually pour in enough oil to bind the mixture and form a dough.

4. Bring the mixture together using your hands. Divide in three and roughly roll out on a floured surface.

5. Put the dough through a pasta machine, 3 - 4 times, on the thinnest setting, to make three long flat sheets, flouring each time to prevent the pasta from sticking.

6. Cut the sheets into 2 - 3cm long strips, to resemble noodles.

7. Cook the pasta in the boiling water for 4-5 minutes or until tender.

8. To make the sauce, heat the oil in a sauté pan and gently fry the pepper for 2 - 3 minutes.

9. Stir in the tomato ketchup, red wine and sugar and continue to cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.

10. Transfer the sauce to a blender and blend together until smooth.

11. Return to the pan, season to taste and re-heat for a further 1-2 minutes.

12. Drain the pasta and transfer to a serving plate.

13. Pour the sweet pepper sauce over and crumble the feta cheese over.

14. Finish with a grind of black pepper, and garnish with fresh basil.

15. Serve.
