Instructions: 

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Once boil is reached, drop in pasta and cook until soft. Save 1 cup of the water the pasta cooked in and set aside. Discard the rest.
  • While the pasta is boiling, place an oiled on stick frying pan over medium heat. Once temperature has been reached drop in the garlic. Mix and swirl the garlic in the oil, you don't want garlic slices to brown. This flavours the oil. After 1 minutes drop in the chopped sun dried tomatoes and cherry tomatoes. Stir and cook for 3 minutes.
  • Next up, increase the heat of the frying pan to medium high and add in 1/2 cup of pasta water. Move the mixture around and then add in the noodles. Using tongs mix everything together and then add in the second 1/2 cup of pasta water to the noodles. Stir and add in sliced basil, salt, and black pepper.
  • Serve each guest hot pasta and top with chilli flakes, parmesan cheese, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
