Tomato Courgetti Linguine With Pine Kernel & Seed Pangrattato

Preheat the oven to 180°C/ 160°C (fan)/ gas 4

Add your cherry tomatoes to a baking tray (or two!) with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt

Put the tray[s] in the oven and cook for 25-30 min or until softened

While the tomatoes are cooking, peel and finely dice your brown onion[s]

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of olive oil over a low heat

Once hot, add the diced onion with a pinch of salt and cook for 10-12 min or until softened but not coloured

Boil a full kettle

Peel and finely slice (don't chop!) your garlic

Dissolve your vegetable stock mix in 200ml [260ml] [350ml] boiled water

Peel lengths off your courgette[s] with a peeler until you end up with a pile of courgette ribbons, stack into a pile and fold in half lengthways, then finely slice – this is your courgetti

Add your linguine to a pot of boiled water, bring to the boil over a high heat and cook for 7-9 min or until cooked with a slight bite

Add the courgetti to a colander, once done, drain the cooked linguine over the courgetti, reserving a cup of the starchy pasta water, and return to the pot – this is your courgetti linguine

Once the onion has softened, add your tomato paste and sliced garlic to the pan and cook for 3-4 min or until the garlic has softened

Once the garlic has softened, add the vegetable stock, roasted tomatoes (reserve the tray for later!), balsamic vinegar and 2 tsp [3 tsp] [4 tsp] sugar

Cook for a further 5-6 min until thickened – this is your roasted tomato sauce

While the sauce is thickening, increase the oven temperature to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7

Add your panko breadcrumbs and pine kernel & seed mix to the reserved tray with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper and stir it all together

Put the tray in the oven for 3-5 min or until everything is golden and crisp – this is your pine kernel & seed pangrattato

Tip: Watch it like a hawk to make sure it doesn't burn!

Meanwhile, roughly chop your basil, including the stalks

Add the roasted tomato sauce to the drained courgetti linguine with a splash of the reserved starchy pasta water and give everything a good mix up and cook for 2-3 min or until the courgetti is slightly softened – this is your roasted tomato courgetti linguine

Wash your salad, then pat it dry with kitchen paper
