Ingredients

Method

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions, reserve 100 ml cooking water and drain.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
