    Bell Peppers are traditional in Italian cacciatore, but instead of putting them in the chicken cacciatore recipe -- I saved them for a side dish of  red pepper rotini with bacon.

    The red bell pepper and  bacon gives this cacciatora dish a bit more substance while complimenting the earthy flavor of the chicken cacciatore.

    I dice and saute the bacon first. I remove the bacon and leave some of the yummy bacon drippings in the skillet.

    I then saute the red bell pepper in the bacon oil for 2 minutes. Then I add the rest of the ingredients and season.

    Chicken Cacciatore with Red Pepper Pasta

    It tastes as if you're in an Italian osteria  { local tavern or eating place} enjoying a simple traditional meal with the contadini {country folk}.  Just sit back and enjoy the rustic setting. Ask your server to suggest a good local red to go along with your pollo alla cacciatora and your rotini con pepperone rosso e pancetta. And once you get your fantastic cacciatora ask for some bread -- tell him you want to use it as a scarpetta { which literally means little shoe but it's bread used to sop up the juices on your plate}. This way you're showing that you don't want to waste one bit of delicious sauce on your plate. 🙂
