Confit Tomato, Rocket & Prosciutto Linguine

Tomato, Rocket & Prosciutto Linguine

Last week I made the most amazing batch of confit tomatoes. They were like little flavour bombs in your mouth. And all week the leftovers in the fridge were calling out to me to turn into a pasta. This Confit Tomato Rocket & Prosciutto Linguine is the final result.

It turned out as one of those bowls of food you don’t want to end. Every bite was packed full of flavour – fresh, savoury, earthy, salty and zingy all at once. It still makes me salivate just thinking back to it! And the best thing is that is really is a simple dish to make. Less than 15 minutes to pull together and nothing complicated about it. Just every day ingredients turned into amazing flavours. My speciality!

And don’t be put off if you haven’t made a batch of confit tomatoes. It would work just as well with using bought semi dried tomatoes in oil in their place.

Confit Tomato, Rocket & Prosciutto Linguine

Ingredients

Linguine for 2
60g rocket
Confit tomatoes (or semi dried tomatoes in oil), about a dozen plus some of the oil
100g prosciutto slices
1 lemon
A handful of grated Parmesan plus extra to serve
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt & pepper

Instructions

1
Bring a large pot of water to the boil and add the pasta. Cook as per the packet instruction, around 10 minutes.
2
While the pasta is cooking, place half the rocket in a small food processor with the juice of a lemon, a handful of Parmesan, a tablespoon or two of the tomato oil, a good pinch of salt and pepper and 2-3 additional tablespoons of olive oil. If your tomatoes have any garlic in the oil, add a clove or two to the mixture as well. Process until smooth and loose and set aside.
3
Shred the prosciutto slices into bite sized pieces. Set aside.
4
Drain the pasta when cooked, reserving about 1/4 cup of the cooking water. Place the pasta back in the pot and add the rocket sauce, remaining fresh rocket, prosciutto and whole confit tomatoes. Mix well, adding in some of the cooking liquid to help bring it all together. I like to squish the tomatoes a bit when mixing to allow the tomato flavour to mix into the sauce.
5
Serve immediately with extra Parmesan to taste.
