Preparation
To make the pasta with sweet Italian peppers and cherry tomatoes, wash and clean the peppers, remove the stalk and seeds, and cut them into strips. Wash and clean the cherry tomatoes, then cut them into quarters.
Take a pot and pour a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Add the garlic and chopped chili pepper, set over low heat.
When the garlic is lightly golden, add the sweet Italian peppers and cherry tomatoes. Add a splash of water, a few basil leaves, and let it cook slowly. The vegetables should soften slightly and remain crunchy.
In a small saucepan, over low heat, melt the anchovies with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Blend the olives in a mixer, then add them to the anchovies along with the breadcrumbs. Toast on the fire for a few minutes, then transfer it to a bowl.
Cook the pasta in plenty of salted boiling water; once cooked (preferably al dente), drain it and pour it into the pan with the sweet Italian peppers and cherry tomatoes. Allow it to blend for a few minutes.
Remove from the heat and add the olive crumb. Serve with a sprinkle of grated pecorino cheese. Enjoy your meal!
