Here is the perfect pasta to share with just the right balance of decadent and wholesome.

Serves 2

INGREDIENTS

350g tomatoes on the vine

120g buffalo mozzarella

100g unsalted butter

½ cup sage leaves, chopped

300g tagliatelle pasta

For the walnut crunch:

½ cup walnuts

¼ cup sugar

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

METHOD

Start with the walnut crunch by place all the ingredients in a pan and heat slowly, stirring frequently until the sugar has dissolved and cook for 2 -3 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour out onto a non-stick silicone mat or baking paper.

Pan-fry the tomatoes in a pan heated high with a little olive oil until slightly charred.

In a saucepan, add the butter and cook on a medium heat until it begins to brown. Then add your herbs and remove from the heat.

Cook the pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and place in a serving bowl. Pour the browned butter over the pasta. Top with roasted tomatoes and tear over the buffalo mozzarella. Crumble over the walnut crunch and serve.
