- Chilli - 2 small red, deseeded and roughly chopped
- Tomato pasta - 2 tbsp
- Chopped tomatoes - 2 x 400g cans

Instructions
-
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic. Cook, stirring, for 3 minutes.
-
Add the chillies and tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, stirring. Add the red capsicum.
- Add the canned tomatoes. Cook, stirring, for 20 minutes or until the sauce has reduced. Season with salt and pepper and add the herbs.
- Meanwhile, cook the linguine in some salted water with a dash of oil. Make sure to stir often while linguine is cooking as noodles can stick together. Reserve 1/2 a cup of the starchy cooking water and pour into the tomato sauce.
- Drain the pasta and add to the sauce and toss to coat. Add parmesan before serving.
