Prep the other ingredients: While the peppers are roasting, drain the anchovies and capers from their oil using a fine mesh strainer. Slice the black olives into rounds. For the bell peppers, after roasting, remove the skin and seeds. Cut them into thin strips, placing them in a colander to drain any excess liquid.

Cooking the anchovies: In a large skillet, heat some olive oil over low to medium heat. Add the anchovies and gently fry them until they dissolve into the oil, creating a flavorful base for the sauce.
-
Cooking the peppers and olives: Once the anchovies are cooked down, add the thinly sliced bell peppers to the pan. Sauté for a couple of minutes, allowing the peppers to soften and absorb the flavors of the anchovies. Pour in the water that was released from the roasted peppers, adding depth to the sauce. Stir in the sliced olives and let the mixture simmer for a few more minutes.
-
Cook the spaghetti: While the sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
-
Combine and serve: Once the spaghetti is cooked, drain it and add it directly into the pan with the pepper, olive, and anchovy mixture. Toss everything together, making sure the pasta is evenly coated with the flavorful sauce.
-
