1. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Add pasta and cook according to packet instructions or until cooked al dente. Drain and rinse briefly.
2. Heat a large pan with 1-2 tbsp oil (see notes). Slice onion, red capsicum and salami, add to the pan as you go. Chop sun-dried tomatoes and crush in garlic. Add 1/4 cup pasta water and simmer over low heat.
3. Slice tomatoes and green capsicum into rounds. Arrange on a platter and drizzle with 1/2 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper. Chop basil leaves and scatter half over the salad. Reserve remaining for the pasta.
4. Add spinach, reserved basil and thyme leaves to pan along with cooked pasta, 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar and 1 tbsp olive oil. Toss to combine well and take off heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper then serve at the table with salad.
Notes:
Use oil from the sun-dried tomato jar for added flavour.
Use a pair of scissors to help chop the sun-dried tomatoes straight in the jar - quick and mess free!
