Exactly as it says - a really fast pasta dish!
Ingredients
- 100g wafer-thin cut pepperoni, sliced into strips
- small handful basil to taste
- 1 chopped red chilli (or to taste)
- black pepper, crushed in pestle and mortar - 7 peppercorns or to taste
- pinch of salt
- 5 tbsp olive oil
- 200g cherry tomatoes, skins on, cleaned and cut in half
- 150g tube-pasta such as rigatone or penne
Directions
- Put on the pasta to cook in plenty of boiling hot, salted water
- Add the olive oil to a suitable frying pan over a moderate heat
- Add the chilli, peppercorns and basil
- When the wonderful smells hit your nose, add the pepperoni and stir vigorously for about a minute
- Add the tomatoes and turn the heat up, stirring vigorously for 2 minutes before reducing the heat again
- Simmer the sauce until the pasta is done (I like al dente best)
- Drain the pasta and stir thoroughly into the sauce
- Garnish with fresh basil & a very light dusting of Parmesan
