Spiral Pasta
with Tomato & Cheese
The classic combo of onion, garlic and tomato pairs brilliantly with salty capers and basil in this most simple and classic of pasta sauces. The real hero of the dish is the chilli which adds flavour and warmth. Keep out the chilli for the kids, but if you’re feeling brave, add ¼ tsp of chilli flakes and enjoy this dish the traditional, ‘angry’ Italian way. Buon appetito!

Cooking Steps
To prepare the ingredients, finely chop the brown onion, birdseye chilli (deseeded and optional), and basil leaves. Dice the red capsicum. Peel and crush the garlic. Finely grate the Parmesan cheese.
Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Add the wholemeal spiral pasta and cook for 10 minutes or until ‘al dente’, stirring regularly to ensure that the pasta does not stick. Drain and return back to the saucepan.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over a medium heat. Add the brown onion and red capsicum. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes and then reduce the heat to medium-low and cover with a lid. Cook for 5 minutes or until the capsicum softens. Remove the lid and add the garlic and birdseye chilli (leave out the chilli if you don’t like too much heat!) and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes and water. Bring to a simmer for 10 minutes or until it has thickened slightly and the vegetables have softened. Stir through the capers, basil leaves and pine nuts until well combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Throw in the drained pasta and toss to coat well.
Divide the Vegetarian Arrabiata between bowls and top with the finely grated Parmesan cheese, if you like. Tip: If the kids don’t eat capers, you can just stir them through the adult serves before serving up.
