• Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
• Quarter and deseed the bell pepper.
• On a lined baking tray, toss the pepper with a good drizzle of oil, salt, pepper and paprika. 
• When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until softened and slightly charred, 25-30 mins.
• Once cooked, puree the roasted pepper with a blender until smooth.

TIP: Don't have a blender? No problem, roughly chop your pepper instead!

• Boil a large pot of salted water for the linguine.
• When the water is boiling, add the linguine and bring back to the boil.
• Cook until softened, 10-12 mins. 
• Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pot, off the heat.
• Drizzle with oil and stir through to prevent sticking. 

TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.

• Halve, peel and finely chop the onion.

• Add the peas and the pureed pepper to the pan. 
• Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for another 4-6 mins.

NOTE: Adding prawns? Add to the pan along with the onion then follow the recipe as written.
