  • 6 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Tip

A different pasta shape
Match your sauce with a suitable pasta shape. Smooth pastas, such as spaghetti and linguine, go best with light, thin sauces; pastas with holes or ridges, such as fusilli and penne, are better for chunkier sauces.

Method

  1. Cook pasta following pack instructions. Drain, reserving a few tablespoons of water in the bottom of the pan.

  2. Return the pasta to the pan over a low heat, stir in the olive oil and garlic and allow to infuse for 1 min. Toss through the remaining ingredients, season and serve.
