Cook safely
Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.
- Hot oil. Never put water on an oil fire: turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid or a damp tea towel. Pat food dry before it goes into hot oil, and lower it in gently, away from you.
- Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
- Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

- HEAT OLIVE OIL in a nonreactive skillet. Add tomatoes, peppers, olives, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grindings of pepper; mix well. Cover and cook over medium heat 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Off heat, set sauce aside until pasta is ready. Bring 4 quarts water to a boil with 1 tablespoon salt. Add spaghetti and cook until slightly less than al dente. Return sauce to a simmer. Drain pasta and add it to sauce. Toss over medium heat 30 seconds, then add cheese and toss once more. Serve at once.
