Instructions
Start by finely dicing the onion and pepper, then add these into a large pan with a drizzle of olive oil and bring to a medium heat. Sauté the onion until translucent, then crush in the garlic cloves and cook until fragrant.
Add in your pasta, 1 tbsp olive oil, stock cube and water and bring the heat to the boil, then reduce down a little to medium high. Once the pasta has started to cook and some of the liquid has been absorbed, pour in your tomato passata, season with black pepper, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Continue to stir the pasta as it cooks until you’re left with a beautiful al denté pasta. You may need to add more liquid as it cooks depending on your pasta.
Adjust any seasonings to taste, then serve garnished with some fresh basil and an extra crack of black pepper. This is also delicious with a generous helping of Giribizzi Parmigiano Reggiano.
