  1. ACCOMPANIMENT: garlic bread made from remainder of Italian loaf
  2. MAKE PEPERONATA:
  3. Preheat oven to 400°F with racks in upper and lower thirds.
  4. Toss bell peppers with 1 Tbsp oil, then roast in a 4-sided sheet pan in lower third of oven, stirring occasionally, until tender and browned, about 35 minutes.
  5. Stir together capers, vinegar, red pepper flakes, and remaining 1/2 Tbsp oil in a medium bowl and set aside.
  6. MAKE MEATBALLS WHILE PEPPERS ROAST:
  7. Soak bread in milk in a small bowl until softened, about 4 minutes.

  10. Stir together tomato paste and remaining Tbsp oil and brush over meatballs, then bake in upper third of oven until meatballs are just cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
  11. Toss bell peppers with caper mixture. Serve meatballs with peperonata.
