One-pot tomato pasta

Everything in one pot, until glossy.

25 minServes 2By Nell Ashworth
You'll need
  • 200 g spaghetti
  • 250 g cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 garlic cloves, sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • About 600 ml water or stock
  • A handful of basil
  • Parmesan, to serve
Method
  1. Put the pasta, tomatoes, garlic, oil and a good pinch of salt in a wide pan.
  2. Pour in the water or stock and bring to a boil.
  3. Simmer for 10–12 minutes, stirring often, until the pasta is tender and the liquid has become a glossy sauce. Add a splash more water if it gets dry.
  4. Tear in the basil and finish with parmesan.
Well-made tip: the starch from the pasta thickens the sauce, so keep stirring and it will come together.
