Cooking Steps
1
- Boil a large pot of salted water for the rigatoni.
- When boiling, add the rigatoni to the water and 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 prevent sticking.
TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
2
- Meanwhile, roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Halve the cherry tomatoes.
- Place a large pan over medium heat (no oil).
- Once hot, dry-fry the pine nuts, stirring regularly, until lightly toasted, 2-3 mins. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3
- Return the pan to high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- When hot, fry the garlic and tomatoes until fragrant, 2-3 mins. Then add passata, peas, 50ml water and ½ tsp sugar (double both for 4p).
- Simmer until tomatoes have softened and sauce is thickened, 4-5 mins.
- Stir through the pesto, parsley and a knob of butter. Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar.
- Toss cooked pasta through the sauce.
TIP: Add a splash of water if the sauce is too thick.
4
- Divide the cherry tomato rigatoni between bowls.
- Finish with a sprinkling of cheese and a scattering of toasted pine nuts.
