List of Ingredients

2 medium leeks
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large red bell pepper
1 large yellow bell pepper
4 tablespoons butter
1 clove finely minced garlic
1/3 cup dry vermouth
salt and fresh black pepper to taste
12 ounces fettuccine, prepared as directed
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, garnish



Recipe

Coat the leeks with olive oil. Place the leeks and whole peppers on a hot grill. Grill, turning as needed, until leeks are tender and golden brown, about 10-12 minutes, and skin of peppers is charred, about 15 minutes. Remove the leeks from grill and let cool. Remove the peppers from the grill and place in a paper or plastic bag and seal; set aside and allow to steam. When cool, trim root ends from leeks, then cut into thin strips. Peel and seed bell peppers and cut into thin strips. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic to skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until pale golden. Add vermouth, and reduce to syrupy consistency. Stir in leeks and peppers and season with salt and pepper. Toss pasta in with contents of skillet. NOTES : Sprinkle with thyme and serve hot.
