Pasta with Smoked Oysters and Tomato

A quick and easy pasta dish made with smoked oysters, tomato and basil that takes only about 20 minutes to make. These smoked oysters from Ekone Oyster Co are firm and flavourful and work really well in this dish. We've used fresh cherry tomatoes here, but you could also used canned plum tomates and hold back the juice.
