🍅 The Last-Tin Tomato Pasta

One pot, very little fuss, and plenty of room for substitutions.

What you’ll need

• 200 g dried pasta
• 1 tbsp olive oil (optional)
• 1 small onion or 1 tsp dried onion flakes
• 1 tin (400 g) diced tomatoes
• 1 tin (400 g) chickpeas, drained
• 1 tsp dried mixed herbs
• 2 cups (500 mL) water, plus more as needed
• Salt and pepper, to taste

How to make it

1. Combine pasta, onion, tomatoes, chickpeas, herbs and water in a large pot. Add the oil if using.
2. Bring to a simmer, stirring often so the pasta doesn’t stick.
3. Cook for 12–15 minutes, until the pasta is tender. Add a splash of water whenever the pot becomes too dry.
4. Season, then serve. Add cheese, frozen spinach or chilli flakes if you have them.
