Easy Tomato Pasta

Ingredients

• 1 Tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 Small onion diced
• 0.5 Garlic clove crushed or finely chopped
• 200g Tin chopped tomatoes
• 0.5 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• Salt and pepper
• A small handful of basil roughly chopped
• 150g Pasta
• 1.5 Sundried tomatoes
• Grated cheddar or parmesan

Instructions

Step 1

Pour the olive oil in a medium saucepan and add the onion. Put on a low heat and sweat the onion, with the lid on, for about 5 minutes, until the onion is softened but not brown. Stir occasionally.

Step 2

Step 3

Add the tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper and half the basil. Turn the heat up and bring to the boil, then cook for 10-15 minutes on a low heat, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

While the sauce is cooking, cook the pasta according to the packet instructions/your own preferences. Add the sundried tomatoes to the pasta to rehydrate.

Step 5

Just before the pasta is ready, fish out the sundried tomatoes, then chop them finely and add to the sauce.

Step 6

Drain the pasta and stir into the sauce with a couple of tablespoons of the cooking water from the pasta. Serve sprinkled with the cheese and the remaining basil.
