Cardamom & Tomato Spaghetti en Papillote

Cardamom & Tomato Spaghetti en Papillote

An adaption of a Lesley Waters recipe.

A novel way to serve spaghetti, wrapped & abked to give maximum flavour.

Core recipe
Points plan 5 pts per serving

Serves 4

350g dried spaghetti
500ml carton tomato passata
2 tbsp tomato puree
12 cardamom pods, pods removed & seeds lightly crushed
100g green & black olives in brine, pitted & roughly chopped

Preheat oven to Gas 6/200ºC/400ºF

Cook spaghetti as per pack instructions until almost cooked.

Meanwhile, mix the passata, tomato puree, cardamoms and olives.  Drain the almost cooked spaghetti and toss with the tomato and olive sauce.

Take 4 large sheets greseproof paper (approx 65 x 55 cm ...26 xx 22").  Fold each sheet in half to give double thickness.  Spray with frylight . Pile spaghetti onto one half of each of the four sheets.  Fold the other half over and twist the edges together to form a tight seal.

Transfer to a baking tray and place in the oven for 10-12 mins until piping hot.

Place each pack on its own serving plate and open at the table.



 Note: Add more veg if you wish.....mushrooms, peppers, courgettes, sweetcorn.  Also chilli is good in the sauce.  Just remember to add the points for anything extra you use.
