Place fresh bell peppers in a 10- by 15-inch pan. Broil about 3 inches

minutes. Let cool, then pull off skins, remove stems, and rinse off
seeds. (Drain and seed canned peppers.) Finely chop peppers in a food
processor or with a knife. Place in a 3- to 4-quart pan over
medium-high heat with onions, garbanzos, basil, tarragon, and capers;
stir often until steaming, 5 to 7 minutes. Meanwhile, fill a 5- to
6-quart pan 3/4 full of water; cover and bring to a boil over high
heat. Add pasta and cook, uncovered, until barely tender to bite, 7
to 8 minutes. Drain pasta and pour into a wide, shallow bowl. Spoon
pepper mixture onto pasta. Mix to serve; season to taste with salt
and pepper.
