SPAGHETTI & FRESH TOMATO

Spaghetti bathed in an herby tomato marinade is a taste of summer captured in a dish. Plump, juicy cherry tomatoes, fresh garlic, basil, parsley, thyme and the freshest extra virgin olive oil merge in a no-cook sauce that begins as a marinade. Our summer spaghetti is not just a treat for your taste buds; it's also a feast for the eyes. The vibrant red colour of the cherry tomatoes against the backdrop of the golden spaghetti is a sight to behold.
