This recipe is brought to you with the help of our friends at Perfection Fresh

Ingredients:

  • 1 pack of Perfection Fresh Kumatoes
  • 1 pack of Perfection fresh Mix-A-Mato
  • 1 tin of chopped tomatoes
  • 1 long red chilli
  • 1 diced red onion
  • 1 Garlic clove
  • Basil
  • Parmesan
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Olive Oil 

Method:

  1. Begin heating up a pot of water for your pasta and be sure to make it salty like the ocean.
  2. In a fry pan on medium heat, go in with a good splash of olive oil, followed by your onion, garlic and chilli. Season to taste and sweat these down until they have softened.
  3. Roughly chop all of your tomatoes and add them to the pan along with the tinned tomatoes. These will begin to break down creating a luscious red sugo sauce. Tear in some fresh basil leaves just before the sauce is ready.
  4. Boil your pasta according to the packet but reserve one ladle of pasta water for your sauce. 
  5. Ladle the pasta water into your sugo and stir continuously until it has loosened and fully combined.
  6. Drain off your pasta and put it directly into the sugo with some more olive oil &  basil then toss everything together till it’s evenly coated.
  7. It’s time to plate up and garnish with pepper and parmesan.
