Spaghetti Pomodoro with Basilico Sauce

Serves 4

Ingredients
340g Barilla Spaghetti
1 jar Barilla Basilico sauce
20ml Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 onion
1 garlic clove, whole
1 punnet cherry tomatoes, halved
Salt and pepper
Fresh basil

Method
Bring plenty of water to the boil, then add rock salt. We recommend 7 grams per litre of water.
Drop the Spaghetti in the water and stir.
In a large fry pan, gently heat half the olive oil. Add onion and garlic and cook until golden.
Add the Basilico sauce and season with salt and pepper. Cook the sauce over medium heat, stirring occasionally for about 3 minutes and then remove the garlic clove.
Cook the pasta one minute less than the instructions on the packet, drain and mix with the tomato sauce. Add cherry tomatoes and finish cooking pasta in the sauce.
Remove from the heat, add fresh basil and serve with a drizzle of olive oil.
