Introduction
I love this recipe. It’s incredibly basic, but for how easy it is, you get a lot of flavour.
This is a cracking recipe if you are working from home and need to get dinner on between calls or when you are just genuinely busy and need something with minimal fuss. It’s also a great one to have up your sleeve to have pre-training or even if you are carbohydrate-loading the day before a sporting event.

3. Chop up your pepper into long strips. Add these to the tray along with the cherry tomatoes.
4. Tray into the oven for 40 minutes.
5. While this happening, get a large bowl and add the fresh pasta. Carefully pour over the boiling water from kettle and cover the pasta. Add a teaspoon of salt here and mix well. We are just giving the pasta a bit of a hand here to rehydrate before it goes into the oven. You can leave this sit while the veg and protein are cooking away.
6. After 40 minutes or once you know the protein is cooked, take the tray out of the oven. Add the pasta along with the remaining ingredients above and mix well until combined. While you are mixing, dont be afraid to mass up the tomatoes a little to create a sauce. You can also add a couple of
