Serves 6
2 large handfuls of fresh oregano, very finely chopped
25g dried oregano (on the branch), leaves crumbled
12 red cherry tomatoes, quartered and seeded
12 yellow cherry tomatoes, quartered and seeded
100ml extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
250g linguine
Method
The red wine vinegar lifts this recipe. It’s important you serve this on hot plates.
Mix the fresh and dried oregano together.
Combine the tomatoes with the extra virgin olive oil, the red wine vinegar and sea salt and black pepper, then set aside to marinate.
Cook the linguine in a generous amount of boiling salted water, then drain and return to the pan. Toss with the oregano mixture and the marinated tomatoes until very hot, then serve.
