One Pan Pasta

A super simple one pan dish.

Ingredients:

• 225g tagliatelle nests
• 280 g cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 handfuls fresh spinach
• 6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 170 g tomato puree
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 1 tsp dried parsley
• ½ tsp chili flakes (optional)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 240 ml double cream
• 600 ml chicken stock
• Fresh basil leaves, torn
• Grated parmesan
• Grilled chicken, prawns etc (optional)

Method

1. Add the tagliatelle nests, cherry tomatoes, red onion, spinach, and garlic to a large flat pan. Sprinkle in the oregano, basil, parsley, chili flakes, salt, pepper, and lemon zest. Spread the tomato paste evenly over the top, then drizzle in the olive oil and pour in the double cream and chicken stock.
2. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally so the pasta separates and cooks evenly and the tomato puree melts into the sauce.
3. Once the pasta is tender and the sauce has thickened, give everything a final mix.
4. Serve topped with fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese. You could also add chicken or prawns if you wanted to but it doesn’t need it!
