There are days when I don’t want to potter around the kitchen ; neither does the tingling warmth from the burner pep me nor does the clanging of the pans and the buzz of the sizzling spices excite me. While a few of those days covet for my undivided attention towards the must-watch flicks, a few others lure me with the promise of engaging reads; to put it simply I don’t want to cook. But, the tummy doesn’t understand this – the slowly growling belly starts rumbling steadily and as the time ticks on it starts sending you howlers indicating that it needs to be fed and nourished. There is of-course the simpler option of ringing up a near-by restaurant to deliver something piping hot. However, if you just prefer to not loosen the purse-string then this bowl of hearty chomping is a life saver. Without much time in the hearth, the dish is a perfect sunday afternoon lunch. Grab the to-read fiction or prop yourself dainty before the idiot box along with a cool glass of Lemon & Ginger and you are all set to indulge yourself
Cook the pasta according to the package directions; drain and set aside.
Preheat the oven on the grill mode. Meanwhile, arrange the tomato slices on a lightly greased baking pan. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the slices liberally with the cheese gratings. Grill until the cheese is bubbly and golden for a few minutes.
In a small pan, warm the oil with the garlic and the chilli flakes over medium heat until fragrant for a minute or two. Tip in the dried basil and give it a good swirl. Season it with salt and pepper and add the pasta. Toss to combine. Serve topped with the grilled cheesy tomatoes, dried basil, olives and more cheese.
