What are we cooking today

This is one of the quickest and easiest pasta's I make. It has only a few ingredients but they combine to make a delicious sauce and as always, the key is to ensure the pasta is cooked al dente.

Getting started

In a large deep pan, place the linguine in addition to the cherry tomatoes, spinach, sliced onions, garlic and basil.

Drizzle the olive on top and season with the chilli and salt.

Pour 4 cups of boiling water (or vegetable/chicken stock) into the pan and bring the mixture to the boil.

Reduce to a simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes on medium heat stirring occasionally with tongs, until the liquid in nearly evaporated, creating a sauce.

Remove the pan from heat and stir in parmesan cheese and fresh basil, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy warm.

Annabelle's tip

This dish is delicious with fresh crusty bread. Just add a little more stock if wanting more sauce to soak with the bread.
