Truth be told, I really like holding knives. My love for cooking has nothing to do with being a woman. So if I hear kitchen jokes, there is a special part in the Cell Block Tango just for me to sing.
Any who, this is another recipe out of "The Ultimate Student Cookbook" by Tiffany Goodall.
What you need:
- 3 & 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 6 large cocktail tomatoes sliced
- 300g of dried spaghetti
- 3 cloves of garlic
- a looooooot of basil (fresh) one bunch packaged works nicely, or if you have a basil plant cut off a large branch and deleaf it. You can't have too much.
- some feta cheese
- 2 large handfuls of baby spinach
What to do:
-slice your tomatoes and place them in a roasting pan (cover it in tinfoil first)
-pour in 1& 1/2 tbsp of olive oil
-roast in the oven at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes
-set a large pot of water on to boil
-when it does add spaghetti and cook until desired mushyness is achieved
-meanwhile, chop up your basil and your garlic
-put them in a bowl and pour in the rest of the olive oil
- add it to the pasta once it's finished and drained
-mix well because the basil will just end up at the bottom otherwise
- wash your spinach and use it as a bed for the rest of the meal
-put the spaghetti with basil mix on next
- then layer on the tomatoes (if you're going for presentation. If not throw everything in the pasta with the basil)
- top it off with the feta cheese
- serves 2 generously and could probably serve 3
NOTES:
This recipe is more of a base for something fabulous. It's still delicious, it could just used a splash of more flavour.
Add some red or orange pepper, and some onion (which you could sauté instead of roast)
If you have flavoured olive oil that might be fun.
