    Ingredients

    3 essential Waitrose red peppers, halved and deseeded
    350g essential Waitrose penne pasta
    250g essential Waitrose cherry tomatoes, halved
    1 large garlic clove, crushed
    ½ tsp fennel seeds
    15 mint leaves, torn

    1. Grill the peppers, skin-side up, on a lightly oiled baking sheet for about 12 minutes, or until the skins have turned black.

    2. Cook the pasta according to packet instructions. Meanwhile, stir the tomatoes, garlic, fennel and mint into the peppers. Crush the tomatoes lightly with a wooden spoon; season and add the oil.

    3. Toss the drained pasta into the red pepper and tomato dressing, with extra olive oil drizzled over, if liked.
