350g (12.3oz) pasta, we use orecchiette (or GF pasta)

1/2 lemon, zest + juice

Vejledning

Add a splash of olive oil to a large saucepan or pot on a medium heat. Next add the garlic, smoked paprika and chilli flakes, then cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally until the garlic turns golden brown.

Next add the tinned tomatoes, crushing the tomatoes in your hands as you go (be careful not to splash tomato juice everywhere). Then fill half of the empty tins of tomatoes with water and swirl it around to collect any leftover tomato juices, before pouring the water into the pan, followed by the vegetable stock, rosemary and a pinch of salt.

Increase the heat and bring it to a boil, then stir in the pasta. Now lower the heat and bring the pasta to a gentle boil, then cook for 10-14 minutes or until the pasta is almost al dente. You’ll need to stir regularly to prevent the pasta sticking to the bottom (orecchiette also has a habit of stacking together if it’s not stirred regularly).

Chop most of the basil leaves, then stir them into the pasta along with the lemon juice (save the zest for topping), beans, green olives and season to taste with more salt, if necessary.

The pasta should have a fairly thick soup-like consistency, but if it’s too thick you can add a splash of hot water from a kettle. Then cook through for a minute or two, before serving in bowls and topping with a drizzle of olive oil, lemon zest, some chilli flakes and grated vegan parmesan. See notes for storing leftovers.
