Method:
Using a hot grill or naked gas flame, roast the peppers, turning regularly for about 20 minutes until the skin turns back. Remove and place in a bowl and cover with cling film and allow to cool.
Once the skins have charred, put the peppers into a plastic bag as this will make them sweat and the skins will come off more easily.
Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the garlic and capers and cook for two minutes. Stir in the peppers and continue to fry for a further three minutes.
Next, add the vegetable stock, bring to the boil and allow it to reduce a little.
Pour the contents of the pan together with the silverskin onions into a blender and whizz until smooth.
Cook the spaghetti according to pack instructions. Drain and stir in the red pepper sauce. Serve sprinkled with parmesan shavings and a handful of basil leaves.
