Ingredients

  • 200 g rigatoni
  • 120 g cherry tomatoes sliced in half
  • low calorie cooking spray
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 red onion peeled and diced
  • 1 red chilli deseeded and diced
  • 1 clove garlic peeled and crushed
  • 45 g reduced fat feta-style cheese crumbled
  • 8 black olives sliced in half
  • 10 g fresh basil chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 220ºC. Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions - this is usually about 10 minutes. Then drain well.

  2. Place the tomatoes onto a baking tray and spray with low-calorie cooking spray, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Roast for 20 minutes, or until the tomatoes have a slightly wrinkled appearance. Set aside.

  3. Spray a large frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and set on a medium heat. Add the onion, chilli, and garlic. Then fry for 8-10 minutes, until softened.

  4. Add the cooked pasta and roasted tomatoes to the frying pan.

  5. Sprinkle in half of the crumbled feta-style cheese, and give it a good stir.

  6. Serve topped with the remaining feta, the olives, and the basil leaves.
