Preheat the char-grill pan or grill. Spray the asparagus with the cooking spray and char-grill or grill the spears in batches, until tender.

At the same time, put the tagliatelle into the saucepan and cover with plenty of boiling water from the kettle. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or according to the packet instructions, until tender.

Slice the tomatoes in half and finely slice the chilli, removing and discarding the seeds.

Drain the cooked tagliatelle in the colander. Tip the Passata into the hot saucepan and add the tomatoes and chilli.
