Elevate pasta with slow-cooked tomatoes infused with rosemary and garlic.
Ingredients:
  • 350g linguine
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) lemon juice
  • 100g baby rocket leaves
  • 800g mixed baby tomatoes, halved if large
  • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 2 dried or fresh bay leaves
  • 1/2 tsp black peppercorns
  • 2.40 gm sea salt flakes
  • 2.50 gm caster sugar
  • 750ml (3 cups) olive oil
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 110C. Arrange the tomatoes, garlic, rosemary, bay leaves, and peppercorns in a 5cm-deep, 25 x 30cm roasting pan in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt and sugar, then pour over the oil. Roast for 1 hour 30 minutes or until the tomatoes start to slightly shrivel. Let them cool in the oil before using.
  • Boil the pasta in a large saucepan of boiling water according to the package instructions until it is al dente. Drain the pasta and return it to the pan.
