Ingredients
- 500 g dried mafaldine
- ¼ cup (60 ml) olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 400 g can diced tomatoes
- 1 tsp vegetable stock powder
- ½ tsp dried chilli flakes
- 300 ml tinned evaporated milk
- Parmesan cheese, to serve (optional)
- Black pepper
Instructions
- Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the packet directions, checking about 2 minutes before the time recommended on the packet.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes, or until lightly browned. Stir through the diced tomatoes, vegetable stock powder and chilli flakes. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 5 minutes, until slightly thickened. Stir through the evaporated milk.
- When the pasta is cooked to your liking, add it to the pan with ½ cup pasta water and toss well to coat to form a silky sauce. Divide the pantry pasta between bowls and sprinkle with parmesan cheese and a pinch of black pepper, if you like!
