Garlic, olive oil & tomato pasta

Method

• Step 1
  Bring a large saucepan of boiling salted water to the boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente.
• Step 2
  Meanwhile, cut tomatoes in half. Peel garlic and, using a mandolin or sharp knife, slice very thinly. Heat oil in a large frying pan over low heat. Add garlic and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes or until light golden. Add tomatoes, increase heat to medium and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until tomatoes are soft. Remove from heat.
• Step 3
  Drain pasta, reserving 60ml (1/4 cup) cooking water. Add reserved cooking water and pasta to sauce, then return to medium heat. Cook, tossing gently, for 30 seconds or until the water and oil are emulsified.
• Step 4
  Divide pasta among bowls. Scatter with tarragon. Grate over parmesan to serve.
