Creamy Tomato Pasta: gluten and dairy free

Ingredients

  • 2 portions of Gluten Free Pasta - I like Garofalo Penne for this recipe
  • 1/2 onion
  • 4 sundried tomatoes
  • 10 cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/8 tsp garlic granules
  • 200 ml single/double/vegan cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Dash of oil - sunflower oil/frylight/whatever you normally use!

Instructions

  • Start cooking your pasta (tips in the blog post above) and whilst that’s cooking…
  • Add the oil, diced onion, halved cherry tomatoes, garlic granules, paprika to a pan and fry until the onions are golden and the tomatoes have softened
  • Optional: place into a blender and whizz until smooth
    >I prefer the base of this pasta sauce to be really smooth and creamy so I like to whizz it up at this stage but if you haven't got a blender/prefer it chunky, that will work fine too!
  • Cut the sundried tomatoes into thin slices
  • Place the sundried tomatoes into a frying pan with the onion/tomato/herb mix and warm through
  • Add single/double cream and warm through
  • Add your portions of cooked pasta, along with a dash of the water the pasta has been cooking in (approx 75-100ml) and stir through.
    >Adding the pasta water takes your sauce to another level! Don't miss this step!
  • If your sauce is a little thin, let it simmer for a few minutes on a low heat until it reaches your desired consistency.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Eat!!!!
