Speedy salsa spaghetti
Making a fast, fresh salsa ready to toss with hot pasta is a game changer – it won't let you down.
Ingredients
- 300g dried spaghetti
- 500g ripe mixed-colour tomatoes
- 50g mixed green & black olives, stone in
- 50g baby capers in brine
- ½ a clove of garlic
- olive oil
- red wine vinegar
- ½ a bunch of basil (15g)
- 40g Parmesan cheese, plus extra to serve
Notes
- Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions.
- Quarter and core the tomatoes, destone the olives, then finely chop them together and place in a large bowl with the capers.
- Peel and finely grate in the garlic, then add 4 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Tear in the basil, reserving the baby leaves, and mix well.
- Drain the pasta, reserving a mugful of starchy cooking water, then tip it into the tomato salsa. Finely grate in the Parmesan, toss together, loosening with a splash of cooking water, if needed, then season to perfection.
- Serve scattered with the reserved baby basil leaves and finish with a few good gratings of Parmesan, if you like.
