OK Tagliatelle Primavera
Serves 4
400g of egg Tagliatelle, either dried (check the amount), fresh from deli or home made....
for the sauce....
8 tablespoons of olive oil
2 red onions, peeled and thinly sliced
2 yellow peppers halved, deseeded and cut into 1 cm cubes
1 red pepper halved, deseeded and cut into 1 cm cubes
1 courgette (zuccinni?) trimmed and cut into 1 cm cubes
1/2 teaspoon dried chilli flakes
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (I didn't have any so I used a smaller amount of dried thyme)
Salt to taste
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the onions, peppers, courgette, chilli and thyme, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, for approx 8 minutes until just softening. Season to taste with salt and set aside
Cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling water until al dente. Drain and tip back into the same pan. Pour in the sauce , place the pan over a low heat and toss everything together for 30 seconds to allow the flavours to combine. Serve immediately

The combining part didn't go too well as you can see as I used too small a pan but it still tasted terrific. Definitely be using the pasta machine again!
