Essential Store Cupboard Tomato Pasta

I’m always slightly wary of sharing pasta recipes on Dinner Tonight because I think so often pasta *is the obvious* choice at the end of a long day.

Cook

Ingredients

Method

Turn cooking mode on

Step 1

Heat a deep sided frying pan and add a drizzle of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and season well with salt and pepper. Fry gently for about 6-8 minutes until the onions are really lovely and soft. You don’t want to get any colour on them, so keep the heat low and keep stirring.

Notes

Tomatoes
You can us plum, chopped, peeled whole, passata even if that’s all you have…it essentially doesn’t matter but if you can get San Marzano ones I highly recommend you do as they really are superior.

Cheat’s Burrata
1 ball of mozzarella

150ml (ish) double cream (heavy cream, or creme fraiche)

zest of 1/2 lemon

salt and pepper

Simply tear the mozzarella into a bowl. Pour over double cream or creme fraiche - you want enough to cover it generously but don’t drown it. Add lemon zest, salt and pepper, stir and leave to sit for 5 minutes. It will thicken and go all creamy and delicious and mimics the creamy Stracciatella inside burrata perfectly.

Variations
You can add some chopped chilli in with the onions, or snip in some anchovies. A little handful of baby capers is also very nice. Add more garlic, or less depending on your taste. Add a squeeze of tomato puree. Add some black olives in at the end. Use a sprinkling of dried oregano when you sweat the onions. Sprinkle with dried chilli at the end. Bubble in some cream, or stir in some mascarpone. There are so many delicious variations you can do with this pasta sauce - the possibilities are endless!
