Recipe: Spicy Tomato Pasta
Whether you have returned to the office or are in back-to-back Zoom meetings, sometimes all you need is a quick, simple, delicious meal to rustle up in the evening before you settle down for some well-earned relaxation.
This is my go-to pasta recipe for an easy dinner or lunch. I love to trim some baby leaves off my Greek basil plant just before serving – nothing beats seeing your home-grown herbs come together in a fab dish
