Notes
- Why not give this dish a really intense tomato flavour by roasting cherry tomatoes and swapping them for the fresh chopped tomatoes.
- You can add some extra salty flavour by adding some chopped capers.
- Make sure that everything is chopped and ready to add, so it can all be mixed in whilst the pasta is hot. This dish is best enjoyed hot.
- To make this even quicker, use some fresh tagliatelle which is ready in a few minutes.
- Don't forget to reserve some of the pasta water. You really don't want to skip this step, as it makes the sauce so silky.
- For an added vegetable boost, add some cooked kale or spinach.
