We’re cheating for flavour in minimum time here, so it’s worth finely dicing your onion and adding the sun-dried tomatoes – both will work together to create depth and intensity of flavour that you can’t normally achieve in a 20-minute window.

Before you object to my using only a quarter of a jar of sun-dried tomatoes, why not make my life-changing pumpkin pasta to use them up?

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 brown onion, finely diced

  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped

  • 4 tbsp oregano leaves, finely chopped

  • 75g sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

  • 400g can finely chopped tomatoes

  • generous pinch chilli flakes, plus extra to serve

  • 2 x 400g cans chickpeas, rinsed thoroughly

  • 1-2 handfuls of cavolo nero (smaller leaves are best; strip the stems from larger leaves as these tend to be too coarse)

  • shaved parmesan, to serve

Method

  1. Step 1

    Place a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the oil and once hot, add the onion and cook until softened, about 1-2 minutes. Add the chopped garlic, oregano leaves and sun-dried tomatoes, and simmer until fragrant and the tomatoes are soft, about 5 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add the tinned tomatoes and a heft of chilli flakes and let simmer for about 10 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add the chickpeas and cavolo nero. Cook until the chickpeas have warmed through and the leaves have softened. Season to taste and add more chilli flakes for heat. Top with parmesan and serve.
