How to Make your Summer Pasta Sauce

As pasta sauce recipes go this is truly authentic Italian. It is also very simple but delicious

1) Roast bella tomatoes until soft and sweet and poach garlic cloves in a little olive oil. Add some salt and basil.

2) Toss these, together with parma ham and rocket into a bowl of your favourite pasta – rigatoni is ideal but penne is also great to use.

3) Douse the final product with the olive oil used to poach the garlic. Top it all off with a few shavings of parmigiana reggianno (Parmesan).

The result is one of those pasta sauces that is a real summer treat – very popular for those long summer lunches out in the garden. It is also a favourite if you need a quick sauce for dinner after a long day at work.
