Roman-Style Cacio E Pepe Wholewheat Spaghetti

Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ gas 6 and boil a full kettle

Bash your hazelnuts in its bag with a rolling pin (keep them in the bag so you don't lose any!) Tip: If you don't have a rolling pin, just chop them roughly!

Add your cherry tomatoes to one side of a baking tray with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper and put the tray in the oven and cook for an initial 8-10 min or until the tomatoes are softened and lightly charred

Meanwhile, add your pasta to a pot of boiled water with a generous pinch of salt and bring to the boil over a high heat

Cook the pasta for 7-9 min (10-12 min for wholewheat) or until cooked with a slight bite

Add your grated pecorino cheese and cornflour to a large bowl and mix until completely combined – this is your cheese mix

Wash your salad and pat it dry with kitchen paper

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) over a low heat

Tip: Cooking for 4 or more? Use 2 pans!

Once hot, add your cracked black pepper and cook for 2-3 min or until fragrant, once fragrant, add your clotted cream to the pan[s] and cook for 1-2 min or until melted and once melted, remove from the heat, add the cheese mix and stir it all together until completely combined (reserve the bowl)

Once the tomatoes are softened and lightly charred, remove from the oven and add the crushed hazelnuts to the other side of the tray

Return the tray to the oven for 3-4 min or until the hazelnuts are golden, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly

Once done, drain the pasta, reserving a cup of starchy pasta water

Add the drained pasta to the pan with 2 tbsp [3 tbsp] [4 tbsp] starchy pasta water and stir it all together quickly

Add 1 tbsp more pasta water at a time if required, stirring until completely incorporated, until the sauce is thick, smooth and coating the pasta – this is your cacio e pepe pasta

Add your balsamic vinegar to the reserved bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt, pepper and sugar and whisk together – this is your balsamic dressing

Add the salad, roasted cherry tomatoes and toasted hazelnuts to the bowl and toss – this is your roasted tomato & hazelnut salad
