METHOD

1

Boil the pasta

Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Cook the spaghetti for one minute less than the packet time.

2

Burst the tomatoes

Heat the oil with garlic and chilli in a wide pan. Add the tomatoes and cook over high heat for eight minutes until they collapse.

3

Lift with citrus

Stir in lemon zest, juice and a ladle of pasta water. Crush half the tomatoes with the back of a spoon.

4

Toss

Drain the pasta, tip into the sauce and toss for a minute over the heat. Finish with torn basil.

VEG.ARMY TIP

Add a tablespoon of capers with the tomatoes for a salty Sicilian twist.
