Method

  • step 1

    Cook the penne according to the pack instructions. While the pasta is cooking, heat the oil very gently and add the chilli, if using, and the spring onions. Slowly cook the spring onion until wilted, then add the cherry tomatoes and sprinkle with the sugar. Turn up the heat and cook until the tomatoes are blistered.

  • step 2

    Drain the pasta and tip into a large bowl. Toss with everything from the tomato pan and the lemon juice. Serve in pasta bowls with grated parmesan.

RECIPE TIPS
LEFTOVER PASTA?

Turn leftover pasta into a tasty tuna salad by mixing with flaked tinned tuna, a splash more olive oil and some more lemon juice to taste. You could also put a handful of rocket leaves on top, if you like.

This recipe comes up under the vegetarian section but it contains parmesan cheese which isn't, just something to keep in mind if you're cooking for veggies!

This is very good with just a little modification. I combined it with another pasta recipe by added a tablespoon or so of capers and some Kalamata olives at the same time as the tomatoes and it is so good. Perfect pasta

Was very nice even though I had no chilli or spring onion - I used chilli powder and onion instead. Quick and easy

Very nice - I added just a little chilli - a quarter of one - to give a little spice.

reading the method it looks like it should be chilli. but I think adding onion in would be good!
