Cooking Steps
- Boil a large pot of salted water for the linguine.
- When boiling, add the linguine then bring back to the boil.
- Cook until softened, 10-12 mins.
- Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pot, off the heat.
- Drizzle with oil and stir through to prevent sticking.
TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
- 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 (per 2P).
- Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Add the onion and season with salt and pepper. Fry until softened, stirring occasionally, 3-4 mins.
- Add the garlic, tomatoes and another pinch of salt. Cook until the tomatoes are softened, 6-7 mins.
- Pour in the passata, creme fraiche and ½ tsp sugar (per 2P).
- Simmer until thickened, 4-5 mins.
NOTE: Adding chicken? Add to the pan with the onion and cook until golden, 5-6 mins before adding the garlic and tomatoes.
- Taste the sauce and season with salt, pepper and sugar.
- Carefully toss the linguine through the sauce to coat and allow to warm through.
- Divide your pomodoro pasta between deep plates or bowls.
- Garnish with a sprinkling of cheese and a drizzle of pesto.
