Notes

You can add a diced pepper, chopped spinach or grated courgette if you wish to bulk it out further.

I tend to use peri marinades as I find them less spicy than the sauces. This is mild to medium as written. Add extra peri-peri sauce or chilli flakes at the end if you like more heat.

Reserve a little extra pasta water in case you want to loosen the sauce when tossing everything together.

Mozzarella gives a mild, stretchy finish but you can swap for reduced-fat cheddar if you prefer a stronger flavour.

I added garlic bread with it and blended the onions as I don’t like chunks of onion. Very tasty. Did seconds for my lunch the next day. I do prefer the Nduja pasta though but nice for a change.
