Recipe Instructions
| Prepare all ingredients as described. Cook the garlic over a medium heat in a saucepan with a little oil and a touch of salt until they start to brown (1 minute). Add the tomatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes or until they soften before adding the herby spice blend and cooking out for a further 30 seconds until they smell delicious. Turn off and cover. Now, crumble the vegetable stock cube into a separate pan of water and bring it to the boil. Add the pasta and cook until cooked and desired texture (10-12 minutes).
