Preparation

Place flour, butter and salt in a bowl and rub together until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Break egg into a separate bowl, add sugar and mix lightly.

Add to flour mixture and mix until pastry comes together. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 180C.

Roll pastry on a lightly floured board to 3mm thickness. Line a greased 25cm flan tin with the pastry. Work your fingers around the edge of the tin to ensure the pastry is pushed down into the corners. Trim off any excess pastry using a small knife.

Prick base with fork and rest for 30 minutes. Line pastry with greaseproof paper, then baking beans or rice and bake blind for 15 minutes in preheated oven.

Remove paper and beans, bake for a further 5 minutes to crisp pastry.

Pasta shapes

Thin, delicate pasta shapes are lovely combined with thinner, delicate sauces. Tubular or irregular shaped pastas are best with chunky sauces (so the sauce can get caught inside the shapes). Small pasta shapes, such as risoni, are great in soups.
