Today’s recipe comes from parent Pippa Akram, and it’s a super easy and delicious ‘no-cook’ tomato linguine.

Pippa says: “I have no idea if the source of the recipe as I had the dish at my cousin’s house and took a written copy away with me. I have to say that I always add chilli (usually frozen chopped or lazy chilli) and definitely add at least double the recommended amount of capers.”

As tomato season hits this is definitely one we’ll be trying! Thanks Pippa!
