PAPPARDELLE WITH SIMPLE TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Sauté garlic and red paprika strips in hot olive oil over a medium heat until lightly coloured.
• Add most of the basil, stir and wait few seconds until wilted.
• Add the whole tomatoes and break them up into smaller chunks with a wooden spoon. Bring the sauce to the boil and simmer for about 5 minutes.
• Stir in capers, sea salt and pepper. Set aside and keep warm.
• On a lightly floured work surface, cut the lasagne sheets into strips with a knife or a pastry wheel.
• Cook the pasta in lots of boiling water for a few minutes until just al dente. Drain and stir into the warm sauce.
• Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and some basil leaves and serve immediately.
