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.

Hey Margie! Love this, will be trying the burrata hack! I’m curious about a phrase you used: ‘and don’t use more water than you need’ re cooking the pasta. Can you talk a bit more about that please? X

Hi! Ah this is a great question, thank you! So I never like to cook pasta in too much water - just enough to cover it really. I salt it really well as well and that way you get really starchy gorgeous pasta water to make all your sauces very luscious. It’s it’s too diluted you lose that, and you just don’t need a great big pan of water for 2 people’s pasta. Does that make sense? Xxx
