Roasted peach, tomato and miso pasta

Summer

Prep 10 min
Cook 30 min

Tomatoes and peaches both turn sweeter and jammier when roasted, and a touch of miso keeps that sweetness from taking over the sauce (especially if you’re working with very ripe peaches). The blistered tomato and almond topping adds crunch and a little heat. A good one for when peaches are at their best.

Ingredients

2 peaches (approx 300g)
450g cherry tomatoes 
7 tbsp olive oil 
1 tsp miso 
160g trofie pasta 
TOPPING
30g blanched almonds, chopped 
10g basil leaves 
1 tsp Aleppo chilli flakes
Flaked sea salt

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C. 
  2. Halve the peaches and remove and discard the stones. Keep one peach half to the side for serving and cut the remaining peaches into quarters and add to a medium baking dish along with 300g of the cherry tomatoes, 3 tablespoons of olive oil and ½ teaspoon of flaked salt. Roast for 20 minutes, stirring once or twice until softened and juicy. Add the miso and blend with a stick blender or in a stand blender, until smooth. 
  3. Cook the pasta in well salted water for 12-15 minutes until al dente, then drain and fold into the peachy tomato sauce. 
  4. While you cook the pasta, make the topping by heating the remaining 4 tablespoons of oil in a small frying pan on a medium heat. Add the almonds and cook for about 3 minutes until golden. Add the remaining 150g tomatoes (take care as they might splatter) and cook for another 8-10 minutes until softened but still retaining their shape. Remove from the heat and add the basil, Aleppo, and ½ teaspoon of flaked salt. Thinly slice the remaining peach half, and gently fold it through the tomatoes. 
  5. Divide the pasta into bowls and spoon over the topping.
