In small pan add 6 tablespoons extra virgin Olive oil and 6 sliced garlic cloves, bring up to heat and cook cloves till just beginning to turn golden...take off the fire and set aside to cool (till just warm or room temp)

In a blender or food processor add quartered tomatoes, sliced peppers, lime or lemon juice, salt & pepper to taste, parsley, oregano, the garlic cloves and oil that you cooked them in and "blitz" away till all is blended. Adjust seasonings (salt)

Cook the pasta till al dente (Vermicelli takes very little time) drain and add the "Gazpacho sauce" till well blended.
