Ingredients
Method
- Cook pasta according to package directions, reserve 100 ml cooking water and drain.
- Warm tomato oil in a skillet and stir in garlic for 30 seconds. Add tomatoes, beans, cream and salt, and simmer gently for 3 minutes.
- Toss in pasta and enough reserved water to coat. Fold through arugula off the heat.
A little note
Chop chewy sun-dried tomatoes finely so they distribute evenly.
Cooking tips
- Use the oil from the tomato jar for the amount listed, rather than adding the jar's full contents.
- Keep cream at a gentle simmer and add pasta water gradually so the sauce coats rather than floods the pasta.
