Ingredients

  • 180 g Lupin pasta
  • 2 tin Mackerel (tinned)
  • 500 g Cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 Chili (optional)
  • 3 tbsp Parsley (optional)
  • ½ Lemon (optional)

Method

  1. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil.
  2. While the water heats, slice the garlic and chilli and halve the cherry tomatoes.
  3. Cook the lupin pasta 5 minutes — one minute shy of the pack's 6. It softens fast, so drain it early rather than late.
  4. Reserve a mugful of pasta water, then drain.
  5. Soften the garlic and chilli in the olive oil over medium heat for 1 minute.
  6. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook 6–7 minutes until they blister and collapse, then flake in the drained mackerel.
  7. Toss the lupin pasta through the sauce, loosening with pasta water until it coats.
  8. Squeeze the lemon over, scatter the parsley, and serve.
