Ingredients
Amount
Ingredient
1/2 cup McKenzie's Yellow Split Peas
12 roma tomatoes, halved lengthways
100ml olive oil
1/4 teaspoon sugar
Sprinkle McKenzie's Australian Natural Sea Salt
Sprinkle McKenzie's Whole Black Peppercorns
500 gram fresh tagliatelle
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 small fresh red chilli, deseeded and finely sliced
300 gram fresh ricotta
1/2 cups fresh basil leaves, shredded
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Directions
Step 1
Prepare McKenzie's Yellow Split Peas as per instructions on the back of the packet = 1 cup cooked product.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 200C. Line baking tray with baking paper and place tomatoes cut side up in a single layer. Brush with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and sprinkle with sugar, McKenzie's Australian Natural Sea Salt and McKenzie's Whole Black Peppercorns to taste. Bake for 1 hour, or until soft.
Step 3
20 minutes prior to the end of cooking the tomatoes, bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Cook the pasta according to the instructions of pack, until al dente.
Step 4
Heat remaining oil in a frying pan, add garlic and chilli and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until garlic is lightly coloured. Do not overcook as the garlic will turn bitter.
Step 5
Drain the pasta and place in a large bowl with tomatoes, garlic, chilli and oil from the pan and remaining ingredients, mixing together well. Season and serve.
Step 6
Tips: For an alternative meal, omit the tagliatelle, mix remaining ingredients in a large bowl and serve on top of grilled chicken breasts and alongside a fresh garden salad.
