Wine, cheese, pasta… you don’t get more authentically Italian than this dish, Chef. Beautiful strands of fresh pasta are quickly cooked until al dente, then tossed with a rich Napoletana sauce, with briny olives, pops of capers, & blistered baby tomatoes. Garnished with ribbons of Italian-style hard cheese. Belíssimo!

  1. FRESH PASTA, CHEF!

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente, 1-2 minutes. Drain and toss through a drizzle of olive oil. While the pasta is on the go, rinse, pick and roughly chop the mixed herbs. Set aside.

  2. WINE O’CLOCK

    Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the rinsed baby tomatoes until lightly charred & blistered, 6-8 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and season. Add the NOMU rub. Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Pour in the wine and simmer until almost all evaporated, 30-60 seconds.

  3. AMAZING AROMAS

    When the wine is almost all evaporated, add the Napoletana sauce and simmer until slightly reduced, 8-10 minutes. Stir through the drained Capers, the halved olives, the cooked pasta, the charred tomatoes, ½ the chopped herbs, a sweetener (to taste), and seasoning.

  4. ITALY ON A PLATE

    Make a bed of the loaded pasta, sprinkle over the cheese, and garnish with the remaining herbs. Well done, Chef!
