Pasta with simple sauce

What’s your favorite thing to cook?

My favourite thing to cook at the moment is small pasta pieces, like shells in a very simple pasta sauce of cherry tomatoes cut in half, baby spinach leaves with garlic and chilli 🌶 and a good amount of olive oil. Cook the sauce in a large fry pan, and when the pasta is cooked, combine the pasta with the sauce in the pan and stir through. Use some of the pasta water to slightly thicken the sauce.

It was a very simple but delicious recipe that my friend Andrew gave to me.

  1. That sounds absolutely delicious and wonderfully simple to prepare! The combination of cherry tomatoes, baby spinach, garlic, and chili with pasta seems like a perfect balance of flavors. It’s great that you have a go-to recipe from your friend Andrew that not only tastes good but also brings a sense of joy and comfort to your cooking routine.

    I’m curious, have you experimented with adding any other ingredients to this dish for variation, or do you prefer to keep it as is?

    1. Hi Justin
      When Andrew first gave me the recipe, it did not include chilli. I added that, and at times, I have added some salami cut into small pieces to the sauce. You could add things like mushrooms and olives 🫒 to it. It is a very simple base recipe that you can add to whatever other ingredients you like
