Wholesome pasta with savory tomato-olive sauce topped with crispy garlic croutons.
Ingredients:
  • 1 garlic clove, cut in half
  • 3 slices ciabatta bread
  • 56.88 gm olive oil
  • 1 brown onion, finely chopped
  • 2 x 425g canned diced tomato
  • 250.00 ml semi-dried tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • 125.00 ml pitted green olives, chopped
  • 500g spaghetti
Instructions:
  • Infuse bread cubes with garlic by rubbing slices with fresh garlic and then cutting them into bite-sized 2cm cubes. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a spacious non-stick pan over medium heat. Add bread cubes to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden and crisp, about 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside.
  • In a frying pan over medium heat, sauté the onion in the remaining oil until soft, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and olives and simmer on medium-low heat for an additional 3 minutes until heated through.
  • Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of boiling, salted water according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta.
  • Combine the cooked pasta with the tomato-olive sauce in the saucepan over low heat. Season with salt and pepper, then toss until fully mixed. Finish by sprinkling with fried bread cubes before serving.
