  2. Prepare the vegetables, removing the core and seeds of the peppers.
  3. Place the prepared vegetables and garlic on a large baking tray or sheet. Add the olive oil, oregano, thyme and season with salt and pepper. Mix together so all the ingredients are combined and spread out on the tray ensuring the peppers are skin side up.
  4. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes until the onions have turned transparent.

  6. Transfer everything on the tray, including the oil and any collected liquid, into a blender jug or food processor. Blend using a stick blender (or food processor) into a smooth sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  7. Combine the sauce and pasta and sprinkle with grated cheddar or parmesan.
