Festive tomato spaghetti

Festive tomato spaghetti

 

I first served this to vegetarian friends one Christmas - it was a great success. Add grated Parmesan if you wish, but I don't think it's necessary.


Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Serves 4

  • 2 red onions, finely chopped

  • 8 to 10 spring onions, trimmed and sliced on the diagonal

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil

  • Pinch chili powder

  • 150 ml (5 fl oz) double cream

  • Salt and black pepper

  • 300 g (10 oz) spaghetti, freshly cooked

  • 2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped

  • A handful snipped chives

  1. Cook the red onions and spring onions in the oil with the chili powder for 2 to 3 minutes, until just softened. Add the cream, bring to the boil and simmer for 3 minutes.

  2. Drain the spaghetti, then add it to the onion and cream sauce and mix well. Season to taste.

  3. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and chives just before serving.
