Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the pepper in a roasting pan and roast in oven for 20-30 minutes, until it begins to char, turning once. When cool, peel and halve; scrape out the seeds and cut the flesh into thin strips. Put them to one side.
Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan, add prawns and cook over high heat until they are just tender (5-7 minutes). Remove them from the pan and add chopped tomatoes, extra herbs, parsley, salt (pepper, if wished) and wine. Simmer, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes until thick and reduced. In the last minute add the pepper to the sauce.
Meanwhile shell prawns, lay them in a dish and sprinkle lightly with salt.
Add fresh cooked farfalle and prawns to the sauce. Heat through for 1-2 minutes.
Serve immediately.
