Ingredients

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus extra to drizzle

250g cherry tomatoes on the vine

1 tsp dried chilli flakes

4 garlic cloves, crushed

400g dried spaghetti

Burrata and cracked black pepper to serve

Fresh basil leaves, to serve

TOMATO BROTH:

700g jar tomato passata

800ml chicken or vegetable stock

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180C (fan-forced). 

2. Heat 1 tbs of the oil in a wide, large deep frying pan or casserole dish (see Tip) over high heat. Add cherry tomatoes and cook for 1 minute, or until blistered. 

3. Transfer to an oven tray lined with baking paper. Cook in oven for about 10 minutes, or until tender. Remove.

4. Meanwhile, for the broth, place the passata and stock in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Season with a little salt then turn off the heat and keep warm.

5. Heat the oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add pasta and cook for 3-4 minutes or until it is starting to turn a deep golden.

6. Begin to ladle in the tomato broth, one or two at a time, cooking like a risotto. Cook until each ladle are absorbed into the pasta. Make sure you allow the pasta to char a bit each time as it soaks up the liquid. The point here is to caramelise all the flavour. Cook until the stock is used up and the pasta is tender. 

7. Serve drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and topped with burrata and roasted cherry tomatoes. Garnish with basil. Serve with cracked black pepper. 

Tip:

  • Frypan needs to be large enough so the spaghetti sits flat against the bottom of the frypan.
