- Boil a large pot of salted water for the rigatoni.
- When boiling, add the rigatoni to the water and bring back to the boil.
- Cook until softened, 10-12 mins.
- Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pot (off the heat).
- Drizzle with oil and stir through to prevent sticking.
TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
- Meanwhile, roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Halve the cherry tomatoes.
- Place a pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- When hot, add the garlic and tomatoes and fry until fragrant, 2-3 mins.
- Add the passata, stock, peas, 50ml water (per 2P) and ½ tsp sugar (per 2P).
- Simmer until tomatoes have softened and sauce has thickened, 4-5 mins.
- Stir through the pesto, parsley and a knob of butter.
- Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar.
- Add the cooked pasta to the pan and carefully toss to coat.
TIP: Add a splash of water if the sauce is too thick.
- Divide the cherry tomato rigatoni between bowls.
- Finish with a sprinkling of cheese.
