300 g, use spaghetti or linguine

Calorie controlled cooking spray

5 spray(s)

Onion

1 small, use red, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Cook the spaghetti or linguine in plenty of boiling, lightly salted water for 10-12 minutes, or according to pack instructions, until just tender.
  2. Meanwhile, spray a large saucepan with calorie controlled cooking spray and sauté the onion, garlic, chilli (if using) and fennel gently until softened, without browning. Add the cherry tomatoes and lemon zest and cook gently for 4-5 minutes. Season.
