Method

1

To a saute pan add 2 tbsp of olive oil, the garlic & chilli. Fry for 2 minutes or until the garlic starts to turn golden.

2

Now add your anchovy fillets, and combine until they begin to breakdown, approx 2 minutes.

3

Add your tomato puree, followed by your tin of tomatoes. Fill a quarter of your empty tomato tin with water and add to the pan with your veg stock powder. Stir and leave to simmer for 5 minutes.

4

Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, then add the pasta & stir well.

5

Break down the tomatoes with the back of your spoon. Add in your capers and pesto and stir gently. Leave to simmer for a further 5 minutes.

6

Once the pasta is al dente, drain, reserving some of the cooking water to loosen your sauce.

7

Add your pasta to your saute pan and toss in all that gorgeous sauce.

8

Serve with a grating of parmesan and a sprinkle of parsley, or an extra drizzle of pesto.
