Cooking Instructions and Tips

Get Prepped
1

a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 1/2 tsp salt for the pasta.
b) Halve any thick broccoli stems lengthways.
c) Halve the baby plum tomatoes.
d) Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Roast the Tomatoes
2

a) Pop the tomatoes onto a piece of foil.
b) Drizzle over some olive oil. Season with salt, pepper and the sugar (see ingredients for amount).
c) Fold the foil, sealing on all sides to create a parcel, then place onto a small baking tray.
d) When the oven is hot, roast the tomatoes on the top shelf until softened, 12-15 mins.

Cook the Pasta
3

a) Meanwhile, add the rigatoni pasta to the pan of boiling water and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 12 mins.
b) Halfway through, add the broccoli to the pasta and cook for the remaining time until tender, 5-6 mins.

Sauce Time
4

a) While the pasta cooks, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium heat.
b) Once hot, add the garlic and stir-fry for 1 min.
c) Stir in the water for the sauce (see ingredients for amount) and veg stock paste. Bring to the boil, then simmer until reduced slightly, 1-2 mins.
d) Once reduced, stir in the creme fraiche, bring back to the boil, then remove from the heat. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed.

Combine and Stir
5

a) When the pasta and broccoli have 3 mins left to cook, add the peas and simmer for 2-3 mins.
b) Once cooked, drain the pasta and veg in a colander, then add to the pan of sauce and heat through.
c) Stir through the cheese, then taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if you feel it needs it.

Finish and Serve
6

a) When everything is piping hot, spoon the pasta into your bowls and drizzle over the fresh pesto.
b) Carefully remove your roasted tomatoes from the foil and serve them on top.
c) Spoon over the tomato juices from the parcel to finish. Enjoy!
