Very quick red pepper tomato pasta for kids

Guess the secret ingredient – me

A little while back, Heinz sent us a bottle of ketchup and some other goodies and challenged us to come up with a children friendly recipe.

Here’s one that went down well, feeds four and requires pretty much zero cookery skills.

Ingredients

  • 300g pasta twists
  • 1 400g tin of chopped tomatoes
  • 2 red peppers
  • 1 tbsp Heinz Tomato Ketchup

Instructions

  1. Boil the pasta as per the instructions on the packet
  2. De-seed and roughly dice the pepper
  3. Fry in a pan with the oil until soft
  4. Add the tomatoes to the pan and bring to the boil, then simmer until the sauce starts to thicken
  5. Add the ketchup and stir
  6. Mix the pasta with the sauce
  7. Serve!

No, not exactly posh food, but it’s easy and the sweetness of the ketchup makes it popular with kids.

Disclosure: we received some ketchup, a spoon, oven gloves and an apron to help with this challenge. No payment was received and all posts are 100% honest.
