2 large yellow bell peppers
3 fresh tomatoes, peeled and cubed

Salt and freshly ground pepper

Heat the broiler.

Place the peppers in a brown paper bag.
Close the bag securely and let the peppers rest for 5 minutes.
Remove the peppers.
When cool enough to handle, remove the stem ends, seeds, and any white membrane.
Cut the peppers into thin strips and put into a large bowl.
Add the tomatoes, capers, basil, fennel, Pecorino, and olive oil.
Season with salt and pepper and toss. Set aside.
Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil.

- Stir in the fettuccine and cook until 'al dente', stirring often.
Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of hot pasta water.
Add the pasta to the sauce in the bowl and toss, adding a little hot pasta water if necessary.
Taste for seasoning. Serve hot. Makes 4 servings.
