It sounds like a joke, but it turns out the classic combo of olive oil and tomatoes is filled with goodies that may give your skin an antioxidant boost to calm inflammation, reduce sun damage, and fight back against fine lines.

Sadly, this doesn’t mean we get to binge on pizza or penne in the name of glowing skin. At this point, scientists haven’t found any proven skin benefits of wheat flour (yes, it makes me sad too). But more and more dermatologists are telling people to get on the tomato train because of the many benefits of something called lycopene — the nutrient your skin never even knew it needed.

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Cut the pepper in half and the tomatoes into quarters, place them on a baking tray. Drizzle them with olive oil, then sprinkle them with salt and pepper.
2. Roast them for approx. 30 mins or until soft and coming away from their skins.
3. Whilst they roast make the walnut parmesan by adding the nuts, nutritional yeast, garlic powder and salt to a food processor. Pulse until a crumb like texture is achieved. Alternatively grind the nuts in a pestle and mortar. Set the walnut parmesan aside.
4. When the tomatoes and pepper are almost done, finely chop the onion and garlic. Heat a pan with a little olive oil, add the onion and garlic and sauté for about 5 mins or until softened.
5. Transfer the tomatoes, pepper, garlic and onion to a blender along with the almond milk and tomato paste. Blend until smooth and creamy.
6. Boil a pan of water for the pasta. Cook the pasta according to the pack instructions.
7. Meanwhile, transfer the tomato sauce to a saucepan and simmer on a low heat to thicken slightly and keep warm.
8. Once the pasta is cooked to your liking, strain and serve with the sauce and the walnut parmesan on top. Add a few fresh basil leaves if desired.
