Cooking Steps

Preheat the oven to 220°C. Quarter and deseed the bell pepper and then dice the courgette. Transfer both to a parchment-lined baking sheet and drizzle with half of the olive oil. Scatter over a third of the Sicilian herbs, then toss well to combine. Cover the vegetables loosely with aluminium foil, then roast in the oven for 13 - 15 minutes. Remove the foil and then return to the oven for a further 10 minutes.

Boil plenty of water in a pot or saucepan for the spaghetti. In the meantime, chop the onion and crush or mince the garlic. Roughly chop the basil and crumble the goat's cheese.

Boil the spaghetti for 10 - 12 minutes until done, then drain and set aside. Heat the rest of the olive oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the garlic and onion with the rest of the Sicilian herbs for 2 minutes. Deglaze with the passata, the balsamic vinegar and the water (see pantry for amount). Lower the heat and allow to simmer gently for 6 - 8 minutes.

Transfer the roasted bell pepper to a tall container and use an immersion blender to process into a smooth sauce. Transfer this to the frying pan, along with the roasted courgette. Season to taste with salt and pepper and leave to simmer for another 4 - 6 minutes over medium heat.

Transfer the spaghetti to the sauce and mix well to combine.
