Creamy Tomato and Garlic One Pot Pasta
Timings.
• Prep Time: 5 mins.
• Cooking Time: 5 mins
• Total Time: 10 mins.
Servings. 1.
Ingredients.
• 1 cup (75g/2 ½ oz) Pasta, I use Rigatoni
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil
• 2 tbsp Garlic, chopped finely
• 12 Cherry Tomatoes, sliced in half
• Pinch of Black pepper
• Pinch of Salt
• 1 tsp Chilli flakes (optional)
• A couple of basil leaves.
• 1 ladle of Pasta Water
• Parmesan as much as you fancy
Method.
1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Important: Do not discard the pasta water, as it is vital for the recipe.
2. While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
3. Add chopped garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
4. Add halved cherry tomatoes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they start to soften and release their juices.
5. Push the tomatoes to the side of the skillet and add tomato paste. Stir it around for a minute to cook off the raw taste.
6. Sprinkle black pepper, salt and chili flakes (if using) over the pasta. Adjust the amount of chilli flakes to your spice preference.
7. When the pasta is al dente, take a ladleful of pasta water and add it to the tomato mixture. This helps the pasta stick to the sauce and makes the tomatoes more sauce-like.
8. Toss the cooked pasta into the pan with the tomato paste and cherry tomatoes. Mix everything together, ensuring the pasta is well-coated with the sauce.
9. Grate Parmesan cheese directly over the pasta, adding as much as you desire. Gently mix the pasta to incorporate the cheese and create a creamy texture. The heat from the pasta and skillet will melt the cheese and create a delicious sauce.
10. Plate the creamy tomato garlic pasta in bowls. Top with additional Parmesan cheese and a couple of basil leaves.
11. Feel free to customize the recipe by adding cooked chicken, Quorn meat replacement or sautéed vegetables!
12. Mmm, Scrummy!!
