Smoky orange, roasted tomato and olive pappardelle
This vibrant, zesty pasta dish is a little unusual in its flavour combination. But as the orange, smoked paprika and maple syrup cook in the oven, they become sticky and sweet, adding to the intensity of the tomato sauce.
Our classic tomato sauce recipe is a good one to add to your repertoire, to be used in pasta dishes and beyond…

Method
- Heat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C fan/gas 6. Put the tomatoes and orange wedges in a roasting tin, toss with the light olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper and the paprika. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, then add the garlic and maple syrup and cook for 10 minutes more. Squeeze the juice
and flesh from the orange wedges into the tin, then discard the skin. - Cook the pasta according to the pack instructions so it’s ready as the tomatoes finish cooking. Drain the pasta and tip into the roasting tin with a little cooking water. Toss to coat.
- Add the olives, herbs/rocket and seeds/nuts to the tin, toss again, then season to taste. Serve drizzled with the extra-virgin olive oil.
