3 large cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
2 large sweet pepper, cored, seeded and julienned
1/2 cup pine nuts
1/2 cup fresh parsley or basil leaves, chopped

In a large, heavy skillet heat the olive oil. Add garlic and peppers, and cook for 10 minutes, stirring continuously. Add pine nuts and cook approximately 4 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Gradually stir in basil or parsley. Add olives and capers and heat through. Add salt and pepper to taste. In a serving bowl, toss sauce mixture with pasta.
