We regularly make a wonderful pasta sauce when bell peppers and tomatoes are in season. I just sautee a bunch of onions and bell peppers of whatever color, sautee until tender, then throw in tomatoes, ad lib, a slug of dry vermouth or dry white wine, and basil, just before everything is cooked (my dear wife hates crunchy onions). I often throw in a slug of good red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar, just to finish the dish, just prior to serving. We serve it with whatever pasta is available and a good sprinkling of a good parmesan or pecorino romano/tuscarello, and Italian parsley from the garden. Ron
