Instructions
Bottom of Pot

- Pour in the jar of sundried tomatoes and roasted garlic sauce, making sure to cover the pasta.
- Add a handful of cherry or sundried tomatoes and a sprinkle of Mediterranean dried herbs.

- Mix everything together and set aside.
Cooking
- Close the lid and set the Ninja Speedi to 180°C for 12-15 minutes.
- Stir the vegetables halfway through the cooking time and once the preheat has finished.
- When the vegetables are nicely charred and the pasta is cooked, tip the vegetable contents into the pasta and stir to combine.
Grilling
- Add a couple of large spoons of lemon and basil pesto over the top of the pasta mixture.
- Cover with grated cheese (e.g. cheddar).
- Close the lid and grill at 220°C for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Dish up and garnish with fresh basil (if desired). Serve hot and enjoy!
