Hot pasta with cold tomato sauce

By Phillippa Cheifitz

Serves 4 to 6

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cooking Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

350 g penne

For the sauce, mix together:

400 g Rosa tomatoes, halved
60 g smashed black olives, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
½ cup olive oil
2 T balsamic vinegar
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the rocket oil, blend together:

30 g rocket leaves
¼ cup olive oil (the oil should be runny, so add more if necessary)
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method

Cook the penne in plenty of salted boiling water, according to the packet instructions. Drain then mix the hot pasta with the cold tomato sauce. Check seasoning.
Serve immediately, drizzled with the rocket oil.
Cook’s tip: Add shavings of Parmesan or mix the tomato with a tub of drained mozzarella pearls.

TASTE’s take:
If rocket isn’t a firm favourite, use basil-infused olive oil instead of regular olive oil and add a handful of torn fresh basil leaves when serving.
