Method

  1. Immerse the tagliatelle in a large pan of boiling salted water and cook for 8-10 minutes until just tender. Meanwhile, mix together the tomatoes, rocket, onion and capers.
  2. Drain the pasta and return to the pan, off the heat. Pour in the oil and toss until the pasta glistens, then tip in the tomato mixture and toss again. If you're serving it cold, hold the pasta in the sieve under the cold tap until it's cool, then toss in the oil and tomato mixture. Season well, add the ricotta in small blobs and gently toss through.

Give it a twist

Add some torn fresh basil for extra flavour. Bump up the tomato taste by tossing in a few snipped sun-blush or sun-dried tomatoes. Vary the pasta - use spaghetti or linguine, or a short shape such as farfalle or penne.

    This is a hit! Did not add the capers though. Prefer shorter varieties of pasta to tagliatelle. A very colourful and tasty dish.

    Wonderful ;o) Added a little homemade basil pesto to the ricotta to flavour and used sun-dried tomatoes. I made fresh pasta dough.

    Yum yum yum. So simple and easy and fresh. I used short pasta, omitted the capers and added sun dried tomatoes and basil as suggested. Made it last night and have some left over for packed lunch at work today - roll on lunch time!

    think it may have been better with the ricotta baked with black pepper and lemon first to give extra depth.

    Very rustic and homely. We used Pomodoro tomatoes instead of regular ones for more zest and flavor. Would also recommend using a few shavings of parmesan to add a tang. I would recommend to anyone.

    This is amazing, so versitile, it's very easy to replace or add ingredients according to your own tastes and pantry goods. This rustic recipe provides a quick meal for lunch or tea.

    I didn't include ricotta since I don't eat dairy but I agree with those who said it was bland - I was thinking it was rather tasteless apart from the occasional caper. Having said that, it was fresh, seemed healthy and was a good way for me to use up tomatoes and rocket that I had.
