  • As part of the Telekom Campus Cooking Tour, the celebrity chef Stefan Wiertz recreates the student classic "Pasta". This is how it works: Weigh and cook green noodles.
  • Put the finished pasta in a large bowl and mix with a good dash of olive oil and a little cooking water, season with a little salt, white pepper & a little grated Parmesan depending on your taste.
  • Finely puree the dried tomatoes, tomato juice, onion and garlic cubes, capers, olive oil with a hand blender and season with salt, pepper and a little sugar.
  • Heat the oil in a small high saucepan, dip the fresh garlic cut into thin slices with a slotted spoon or a ladle and fry for about 3 minutes until crispy. Take out and drain on some kitchen towel and lightly salt & sugar.
  • Scatter the plucked basil leaves over the finished dish.
