more things to do with basic tomato sauce

Baked Pasta Dish

400 grms of a small pasta shape (something like penne or orechette)
basic tomato sauce (a two tin job)
handful of basil
3 x 150g mozzarella - sliced
cup of grated parmesan

Cook the pasta till al dente (which means it little bit of bite to it, not too hard or too soft) then mix with the sauce and a handful of parmesan. Get a dish and rub it with olive oil and put in a thin layer of the pasta followed by a sprinkle of basil and some sliced mozzarella. Then keep layering until you've used up the pasta. End up with a good sprinkle of parmesan and bake in medium oven for about 20 minutes or until brown and bubbling. Let it cool a bit before eating.
