Spaghetti coi Peperoni Arrostiti

This recipe is from Basilicata, the smallest and poorest of all Italy’s regions. Basilicata is, however, blessed with very hot summers, so that peppers grown there are beautiful to look at and very good to eat. It is one of the few regions in Italy where fresh chillies are used, often in conjunction with sweet peppers, which moderate the hotness of the chillies.
