Instructions

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 0.5 tsp salt for the pasta.

b) Halve the baby plum tomatoes.

c) 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 pantry 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 tomato parcel on the top shelf until softened, 12-15 mins.

Pasta Time
3

a) Meanwhile, add the rigatoni to the boiling water and bring back to the boil.

b) Cook until tender, 12 mins.

Bring on the Creamy Sauce
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 pantry for amount) and veg stock paste. Bring to the boil, then simmer until slightly reduced, 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.

All Together Now
5

a) Once cooked, drain the pasta in a colander, then add to the pan of creamy sauce along with the peas and heat through for 1-2 mins.

b) Add the spinach to the pan a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins.

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
