Italy in Small Bites

By Carol Field
HarperCollins - 2004

This delicious sweet pepper spread combines roasted peppers, anchovies and red pepper flakes into something much tastier than the ingredients would lead you to believe. As much as I love garlic, I was surprised that it is not in this recipe and I loved it anyway.

As the author mentions in the recipe head note, this is a wonderful spread on slices of bread as it is traditionally served. But it also makes a great pasta topping with a little Parmesan cheese tossed in.

This is a great recipe to have in mind when you need a quick appetizer or snack or vegetable pasta sauce. I roasted fresh peppers as directed in the recipe, but jarred roasted peppers would make this super quick.
