Creamy cheese & tomato macaroni
Try pasta instead of potatoes as a quick side-dish with chicken or steak
- Prep: 5 mins
Cook: 12 mins
- Serves 4
- Easy
Ingredients
- 300g macaroni, or other small pasta shapes
- 25g sundried tomatoes in oil, drained and roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp crème fraîche
- 1 tbsp tomato purée
- 1 tbsp parmesan, grated
Tip
Pasta makes a great alternative
to potatoes as it cooks so quickly.
Try serving tagliatelle, tossed with chopped
fresh herbs and a drizzle of olive oil, with
stews and casseroles – it’s perfect for taking
on the flavour of gravy and juices.
Method
-
Boil the pasta. Meanwhile, in a small food
processor, blitz together the tomatoes, crème
fraîche and tomato purée into a sauce. (If
you don’t have a small processor, finely chop
the tomatoes, then mix everything together.)
-
Drain the pasta, saving a little of the
cooking water, then return to the pan with
the tomato sauce and half the cheese. Mix
together until all the pasta is coated, then
serve as a side dish, sprinkled with the remaining cheese.
