Published on 28 July 2026
This is a family favourite all-year-round but sometimes you want to minimise the cooking (and washing up!), so we’ve switched up the sauce. Tomatoes are at their best in the summer, so we’re keeping it super simple for the sauce. Grate the tomatoes into the serving dish with a splash of oil then season and it’s ready! Simply toss to coat, then serve sprinkled with crispy pancetta and herbs.Time and servings
