Instructions
1
- Boil a large pot of salted water for the linguine.
- When boiling, add the linguine then bring back to the boil. Cook until softened, 12 mins.
- Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pot (off the heat).
- Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.
TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
2
- While the linguine cooks, halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Halve the cherry tomatoes.
- Loosen the pesto by mixing it with 1 tbsp oil (double for 4p).
3
- Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Add the onion to the pan with a pinch of salt and pepper. Fry until softened, stirring occasionally, 3-4 mins.
- Add the garlic, tomatoes and another pinch of salt. Fry for another 6-7 mins, until tomatoes are softened.
- Pour in the passata and half the cream (double for 4p).
- Leave to simmer for 4-5 mins, until thickened then season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar.
4
- Toss the linguine through the tomato sauce.
- Divide your pomodoro pasta between deep plates or bowls.
