Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3/4 lb Rigatoni
2 tb Olive oil
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 c Black olives, pitted
- roughly chopped
-----SWEET PEPPER SAUCE-----
2 lg Red peppers
4 Garlic cloves -- peeled
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Cook the rigatoni in a large saucepan until al dente.
Drain immediately and return the rigatoni to the
still-warm pan with the olive oil; season the pasta to
taste with salt and black pepper.

While the pasta is cooking, make the Sweet Pepper
Sauce.

Serve the pasta on warmed plates, pour the sauce on
top and sprinkle with the chopped olives.

SWEET PEPPER SAUCE: Put the peppers into a saucepan
with enough water to almost cover. Bring to a boil,
then simmer until tender. Remove the peppers from the
water, reserve the water and discard the stems and
seeds. Chop and place in a blender or food processor.

Add the garlic to the peppers, together with 1 1/4
cups of the cooking water, and blend to a puree.

Transfer to a clean saucepan. Season with salt and
pepper and reheat gently.
