Method

  1. 1

  2. 2

    Cook garlic gently in olive oil, add tomatoes and simmer until rich and thick.

  3. 3

    Toss in the pasta, parmesan and enough cooking water to make the sauce silky.

    Finish with basil, black pepper and extra parmesan.

Chef’s tip

Finish the pasta in the sauce so every ribbon absorbs the flavour.
