Method

Fry the Onion, Carrots and Celery in the Olive Oil for about 5 minutes.

Add the Yellow Pepper and cook for a further 3 minutes.

Bring everything to a gentle simmer and cook for 40 minutes.

Serve with a pasta of your choice (I prefer wholemeal as it contains more fibre than white, and I personally think that it tastes better).
