Bell peppers and tomatoes remind us of warm summer days, when they are in season and therefore easily found in the market, fresh and ripe. Their delicate sweet flavour, as well as their bright, vibrant colours, enrich all kind of recipes. That's why Italians love them so much! In this dish we suggest you to use 'perini' tomatoes (also known as plum tomatoes), which are particularly tasty.

Pasta with pesto sauce is a typical dish from the Liguria region (that's why the sauce is called 'Genovese'). The best basil to make this amazing pasta dressing is the Ligurian one, which has smaller leaves, with a much more delicate flavour, and doesn't turn 'black' once blended. But to be honest, the other varieties do the trick too!

Linguine with tuna, leeks and capers

The recipe can be altered according to personal tastes to create different versions of the same dish.

'Penne all'Arrabbiata' somehow represents the essence of Roman people: passionate, a bit 'stroppy', noisy and tempting all at the same time. The Pasta all'arrabbiata - 'angry' pasta - was so called because when you eat it you risk turning red in the face, just as you do when you get angry, due to its spiciness! Enjoy this delicious, very Italian dish and.. go easy on the chili!!
