Nigella recipe help please - Spaghetti and sun-dried tomatoes

5 replies

I'm having some people round for dinner tomorrow night, and I'm trying to decide what to cook for them (has to be vegetarian).

I was a a dinner party a few months ago where the host made a recipe from one of the Nigella books - it was spaghetti with sun-dried tomatoes. I'm afraid I cant remember too much more about it (probably wine induced ), but it was really nice, and seemed to be really easy to cook - the host made it while we were all sitting in her kitchen, and it only seemed to take her 10-15 minutes to do it.

Does anyone know which recipe it was? - if so would someone mind giving me the details of what is in it and how to make it.

Or if anyone knows any similar easy to cook recipes I'd be very grateful.

Thanks

Sorry just looked at Feast and it's not in that one.

Does she have a website with recipes on it? If not, try Jamie Oliver for easy pasta recipes.

Thanks for looking for me snoringnightmare, thats really kind of you. Nigella does have a website with recipes, but not the one I was looking for. I'll go and have a look at Jamies site.

Hi, I have a Nigella recipe from her Express book, it's for moon-blush tomatoes (or something like that... my copy of the book is in Dutch).

---
500g (approx 24) cherry toms
2 tsp maldon sea salt or 1 tsp table salt
1/4 tsp sugar
1 tsp dried thyme
2 tbsp (30ml) olive oil

Warm the oven to 220°c/gas 7

Half the tomatoes and put them in an oven- proof dish, cut side up. Sprinkle the salt, sugar, thyme and olive oil over them.

Put them in the hot oven and switch the oven off immediately. Leave the tomatoes in the oven overnight (or a whole day), without opening the oven door.
---

...These tomatoes are not dried, but they are part-cooked and very soft and flavorsome. We make these quite often (usually if I'm cooking something in the oven that night, I'll use the heat from the oven to do these).
We mix them with cooked spaghetti, rocket leaves, cheese, black olives, whatever...

Hope this helps!

Thank you hollyhobbie for going to the trouble of looking out the recipe and typing it in here.

That way of cooking the tomatoes looks great. Will have to go and buy some cherry tomatoes now.
