Calebrese Pasta

This Calebrese Pasta is so simple as it only contains tomatoes, onions, capsicums and few slices of salami but it is full of flavour

Several weeks ago we dined in an Italian restaurant in Ponsonby, Auckland. I had written a review of it yesterday as we loved what we ordered, specially their Calebrese pasta. It looks so simple as it only contains tomatoes, onions, capsicums and few slices of salami but it is full of flavour, so we planned to make it at home and see whether we can imitate what we had tried. It was a success and tasted nearly similar (ours is a bit sweeter) so here I am sharing it to you guys.
