Description
Pasta and pitta pockets might sound like an unusual combination, but trust us, they’re a winner – and you’ll be wondering why you’ve never cooked them before. Ballymaloe Spicy Tomato Pasta Sauce has a carefully-balanced blend of tomato, chillis and spices, which compliment the beans and olives in this recipe. A handy little vegetarian treat that’ll surprise you, the conchiglie – or seashell pasta – is a great way to ensure you get the maximum amount of sauce you possibly can in each bite, as its cupped shape keeps the sauce in place!
