Method

  • step 1

    Immerse the tagliatelle in a large pan of boiling salted water and cook for 8-10 minutes until just tender. Meanwhile, mix together the tomatoes, rocket, onion and capers.

  • step 2

    Drain the pasta and return to the pan, off the heat. Pour in the oil and toss until the pasta glistens, then tip in the tomato mixture and toss again. If you’re serving it cold, hold the pasta in the sieve under the cold tap until it’s cool, then toss in the oil and tomato mixture. Season well, add the ricotta in small blobs and gently toss through.

RECIPE TIPS
GIVE IT A TWIST

Add some torn fresh basil for extra flavour. Bump up the tomato taste by tossing in a few snipped sun-blush or sun-dried tomatoes. Vary the pasta – use spaghetti or linguine, or a short shape such as farfalle or penne.

I didn't include ricotta since I don't eat dairy but I agree with those who said it was bland - I was thinking it was rather tasteless apart from the occasional caper.

Having said that, it was fresh, seemed healthy and was a good way for me to use up tomatoes and rocket that I had.

This is amazing, so versitile, it's very easy to replace or add ingredients according to your own tastes and pantry goods. This rustic recipe provides a quick meal for lunch or tea.

Very rustic and homely. We used Pomodoro tomatoes instead of regular ones for more zest and flavor. Would also recommend using a few shavings of parmesan to add a tang. I would recommend to anyone.
