Ingredients

2 tbsp Olive oil
450 g Halloumi Cut into chunks, see notes
300 g Pasta Your preference
1 Onion Peeled and finely chopped
3 Cloves Garlic Peeled and crushed
300 g Broccoli
250 g Cherry tomatoes
2 tsp Sweet smoked paprika
500 g Passata
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Heat 1tbsp olive oil in your saute pan, over a medium heat. Add the cubes of halloumi and fry for 5 minutes until golden all over.
Meanwhile put the pasta on to cook in a large pan of salted water. Set a timer for 5 minutes (see notes below).
Once the halloumi is cooked, remove it from the pan, put into a bowl and set aside.
Add the remaining oil to the pan (no need to clean the pan) along with the onions and garlic. Fry on medium for 3-5 minutes until starting to soften.
When the timer for the pasta goes off, add the broccoli to the water to cook along with the pasta. Set the timer for a further 5 minutes.
In the saute pan, add the cherry tomatoes, smoked paprika, passata and plenty of salt and pepper. Pop the lid on and cook for the remaining 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
When the pasta and broccoli are cooked, drain and add to the sauce. Stir well, top with the cooked halloumi and serve.

Notes

Pasta cooking time: These timings assume you are using pasta that takes 10 minutes to cook. If your pasta packaging says it needs longer, adjust the time accordingly, so you let the broccoli cook with the pasta for the last 5 minutes.

Halloumi: We have used 2 x 225g packs of halloumi here. If you want to reduce the calories/fat or cost, you can use just 1 pack.
