"As a mum of four children and sporting activities 4 nights a week I need fast meals - this is one of our favourites. Cooking the pasta is the longest element to this dish, prepare your sauce while the pasta is cooking. A tin of tomatoes can be substituted for fresh tomatoes (great when they aren't in season)."
