Instructions

Make the Pasta
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 prevent sticking.

TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.

Get Prepped

  • 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).
Simmer the Sauce
3
  • 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 tomatoes are softened, 6-7 mins. 
  • Pour in the passata, creme fraiche and ½ tsp sugar (double for 4p).
  • Simmer until thickened, 4-5 mins.

TIP: Add a splash of water if the sauce becomes too thick.

Finish and Serve
