Cooking Steps

Boil the pasta
1
  • Boil plenty of water in a pot or saucepan and crumble in the stock cube (see pantry for amount).
  • Boil the pasta for 11 - 13 minutes, then reserve some of the pasta water before draining and setting aside.
  • Meanwhile, chop the onion and finely chop the basil. 
  • Cut the Romano pepper into thin strips. 
Make the sauce
2
  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large deep frying pan over high heat. Fry the onion, Romano pepper and cherry tomatoes for 3 - 4 minutes.
  • Lower the heat and deglaze with the balsamic vinegar.
  • Add the spinach, smoked paprika, tomato tapenade and cream cheese.

Did you know... cherry tomatoes may be smaller than normal tomatoes, but they are more nutrient-dense; they are richer in potassium and folic acid, as well as vitamins A and C.

Finish
3
  • Add 45ml pasta water per person (see Tip). 
  • Transfer the pasta to the sauce and mix well to combine, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Grate the Parmigiano Reggiano.

Tip: add an extra splash of pasta water as necessary if the sauce is too thick.

Serve
4
  • Serve the pasta on deep plates.
  • Garnish with the Parmigiano Reggiano and the basil.
