Instructions

Bring a large pan of water to the boil.
Salt the water generously and then add the pasta.
Stir well and set your timer for 2 minute less than the packet suggests.
Whilst the pasta is cooking add the olive oil and Italian herbs to a small pan and place over a low heat.
Once the oil is shimmering, turn off the heat and crumble in the vegetable stock cubes.
Stir well and leave whilst the pasta finishes cooking.
Use a big measuring cup or jug to remove 2 cups of the pasta cooking water then drain the pasta.
Put the pasta back into the pan it was cooked in.
Tip the olive oil mixture over the pasta.
Use 1 cup of pasta water to rinse the pan out the olive oil pan and add this to the pasta.
Place over a medium heat and stir gently.
Add a further ¼-1/2 cup of the cooking water as needed.
Once the pasta has a thin coating and all the water has been absorbed, check the seasoning and serve.
