Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 500ðF (260ðC).
  2. Stem, seed, and thinly slice the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and serrano chilies into thin strips.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the sliced peppers, chilies, sugar, and vinegar, tossing to mix evenly.
  4. Transfer the pepper mixture to a nonstick frying pan and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the peppers are tender, about 30 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, cook the capellini pasta according to package directions until al dente.
  6. Drain the pasta completely and transfer it to a large bowl; toss gently with sesame oil to coat and prevent sticking.
  7. Place a 12-inch pizza pan in the preheated oven to heat for about 5 minutes.
  8. Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven; brush the surface evenly with salad oil.
  9. Spread the oiled pasta evenly across the hot pan, pressing down gently to form a compact disk.
  10. Return the pan to the lowest rack of the oven and bake until the pasta is golden brown and crisp, about 20 minutes.
  11. Slide the crisp pasta pancake onto a serving platter.
  12. Top immediately with the spicy pepper relish and cut into wedges for serving.
