“Every country possesses, it seems, the sort of cuisine it deserves, which is to say the sort of cuisine it is appreciative enough to want. I used to think that the notoriously bad cooking of the English was an example to the contrary, and that the English cook the way they do because, through sheer technical deficiency, they had not been able to master the art of cooking. I have discovered to my stupefaction that the English cook that way because that is the way they like it." |

1. TO MAKE THE SAUCE: In a 2 quart saucepan over medium heat, simmer
the ketchup, water, puree, mustard, paprika, garlic, oregano, thyme,
cumin, nutmeg and pepper for 15 minutes. (May be made ahead up to
this point. Reheat before continuing.) Add the beans. Keep warm over
low heat. 2. TO MAKE THE PASTA AND VEGETABLES: Steam the red and
yellow peppers for about 3 minutes; set aside and keep warm. Steam
the broccoli and onions for 4 to 5 minutes, or until crisp-tender;
set aside and keep warm. 3. While the vegetables are steaming, cook
the pasta in a large pot of boiling water until just tender, about 8
minutes. Drain and transfer to a large platter. Top with the sauce.
Top with the vegetables.
