with succulent softened cherry tomatoes

  • 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.
  • 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.
