Ingredients

  • 6 ripe tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 small brown onion, quartered
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 125 ml (½ cup) vegetable oil
  • 500 g dried angel hair pasta, broken in half
  • 100 g feta
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 2 tbsp sour cream
  • 1 large green chilli, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Place the tomato, onion, garlic and salt in a blender and blend to a smooth sauce.
  2. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the oil and fry the noodles until golden and crisp. Add the tomato sauce and bring to a simmer. Add about 250 ml (1 cup) water, cover and simmer for 10 - 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed by the noodles and the mixture has thickened.
  3. Transfer to a serving plate and crumble over the feta. Top with the avocado, sour cream and sliced chilli.
