Ingredients
- Olive oil 1 tbsp

- Halloumi 250g packet, chopped bite-sized
- Tomatoes 1 tin, chopped

Method
Step 1
Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the halloumi pieces until brown on both sides. Remove the halloumi from the pan.
Step 2
Now pour enough boiling water to cover the pasta into a saucepan and start cooking according to the pasta instructions. Meanwhile, add a little more oil to the frying pan and fry the onion slices for several minutes until they soften and colour.
Step 3
Add the garlic and cook on a gentle heat for a few minutes. Then stir in the tomatoes and basil. Add the halloumi pieces back to the frying pan.
Step 4
Keep cooking on a low heat until the pasta is ready. Drain the pasta and share between two bowls. Spoon the halloumi mixture on top and serve.
TIP: Halloumi is already salty so you shouldn’t need to add salt to any halloumi recipe.
