Ingredients
- Saltto taste
- Garlic3 cloves, minced
- Potato4, cubed
- Tomato Sauce2 tbsp
- Olive Oil2 tbsp
- Parmesan Cheese60 g
- All-Purpose Flour200 g
- Spring Onions3, sliced
- Noodles250 g
Optional extras
- Fresh Basilhandful, to finish
Instructions
- 1
Get the pasta water salty and rolling before the Potato goes in — crowded noodles in weak water is the one unforgivable sin.
- 2
In a wide pan, warm the oil and let Noodles turn translucent and sweet without taking any colour.
- 3
Stir through Garlic, toasting it briefly, then lower the heat to a murmur.
- 4
Lift the Potato out a minute early, straight into the pan, bringing its starchy water along for the ride.
- 5
Emulsify: shake and toss the pan hard so water, oil and starch combine into a sauce that looks almost creamy.
- 6
Taste, adjust salt, and serve immediately with cheese passed at the table.
Chef's tip
A final squeeze of lemon just before serving lifts every other flavour.
