Cooking Steps
Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 1/2 tsp salt for the linguine.
Trim the green beans and chop into thirds. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the green beans and stir-fry until starting to char, 2-3 mins.
Add a splash of water and immediately cover with a lid or some foil. Cook until the beans are tender, 4-5 mins.
Once charred, season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a bowl. Cover to keep warm.
Meanwhile, add the linguine to the pan of boiling water and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 10 mins.
Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.
While the pasta cooks, pop the (now empty) frying pan back on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
Once hot, add the garlic, sun-dried tomato paste and sugar for the sauce (see pantry for amount). Cook for 1 min.
Stir in the passata, veg stock paste, half the chilli flakes (use less if you'd prefer things milder) and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount). Season with salt and pepper.
Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer until thickened, 6-7 mins.
Meanwhile, crumble the Greek style salad cheese.
Once the sauce has thickened, stir in the creme fraiche, cooked pasta, charred beans and peas until piping hot.
Taste and season again if needed. Add a splash of water if you feel it needs it.
When ready, share the spicy tomato linguine between your bowls.
Top with the crumbled Greek style salad cheese and remaining chilli flakes if you'd like some more heat.
Serve the rocket alongside drizzled with a little olive oil.
Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The creamy, spicy tomato sauce is widely praised for its richness and depth; some find it mild, so adjust the chilli flakes to your preference.
- Ease of prep: Quick and straightforward to put together, making it a great option for a weeknight dinner.
- Suggestions: Adding prawns, chicken, bacon, or chorizo works well for those wanting extra protein; boosting the garlic and chilli flakes adds more depth if the sauce feels too mild. Some found that extra mushrooms, courgette, or broccoli rounded out the dish nicely, and a squeeze of sugar can help balance any tartness in the sauce.
- Next-day meals: Portions are generous and the dish keeps well, making it a satisfying lunch the following day.
- Vegetables: The charred green beans add a pleasing texture and flavour; opinions on the peas are mixed, so feel free to reduce or leave them out if they are not to your taste.
- Cheese: The Greek-style salad cheese divides opinion — some love it, others prefer to swap it for cheddar or simply use less of it.
- Rocket: The rocket side divides opinion; wilting it briefly through the warm pasta is one way to make it feel more integrated with the dish.
