Fresh Roasted Tomato & Pepper Pasta

Try using a combination of tomatoes such as beef, cherry and yellow cherry tomatoes for extra colour. Great with shredded roasted chicken or cooked tiger prawns for a non-vegetarian version.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 red pepper, diced
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 700g tomatoes, roughly chopped
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp LoSalt
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 25g pack basil
• 300g pasta shapes

METHOD

1. Preheat the oven to 200oC, gas mark 6.
2. Place the pepper, onion, garlic and tomatoes on a large baking tray and toss in the oil, LoSalt and vinegar. Reserve a few basil leaves to garnish and shred the rest, adding it to the tray. Roast for 25 minutes until softened.
3. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in boiling water with a sprinkle of LoSalt according to pack instructions. Drain and return to the pan, toss in the roasted tomatoes and sprinkle over the remaining basil to serve.
