Ingredients
For the pizza pasta bake sauce
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 4 garlic crushed, cloves
- 2 tsp oregano dried
- 400 g (14 oz) tomato puree (alternatively use chopped tomatoes and a tablespoon of tomato paste)
- basil handful, leaves and stalks
- sugar pinch of
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
For the pizza pasta bake
- 500 g (1lb) fusilli pasta cooked + reserve 1 cup of cooking water
- 100 g (3.5oz) pepperoni or salami
- 1-2 cups mozzarella cheese grated or shredded
- basil chopped, fresh, handful, leaves
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 200ºC/400ºF.
- To make the sauce, sweat the onions, garlic and oregano in a few tablespoons of olive oil until soft and translucent.
- Add the tomatoes, basil (I use a medium bunch that I can remove from the sauce once cooked) and seasoning and allow to simmer for 5 minutes until slightly reduced. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Slice 3/4 of the pepperoni/salami (reserving a few slices for presentation).
- Add the cooked pasta (and stir in some of the reserved pasta cooking water). Add the sliced salami to the pasta with the sliced basil.
- Transfer half of the pasta to an oven-proof dish, add half of the cheese then the remainder of the pasta and cheese. Top with the rest of the pepperoni/salami and place in the oven to bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
- Remove from the oven, top with more basil and serve.
