Trofie with Bell Peppers

Trofie with bell peppers have a sauce with tomatoes and peppers. I must say that in summer I often use bell peppers, as they give dishes an exceptional flavor.
During the summer months, I often prepare this kind of dish, based on tomatoes or using peppers to make pestos and other kinds of sauces.
In this recipe, I used Clemente extra virgin olive oil, an oil of excellent quality!
If you take care to freeze the bell peppers during the summer to use them in winter, you can make this dish even when peppers are expensive and not in season.
