Tips

Method

Step 1
Preheat oven to 200°C. Grease a 30 x 25cm baking dish with oil.

Step 2
Cook the pasta to the directions on pack. Drain and place in the baking dish, tossing in a little olive oil to stop it sticking together.

Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frypan over medium-high heat. Cook the onion, garlic, vegetables and herbs until soft.

Step 4
Add the pasta sauce, stir and cook for 2 minutes.

Step 5
Pour over the pasta and gently mix through. Add a touch of water if the mix needs to be loosened.

Step 6
Top with wholemeal breadcrumbs and sprinkle with mozzarella.

Step 7
Bake for 15-20 minutes until cooked through and golden on top.


Serving suggestion: if you are taking leftovers for lunch, pasta needs to be kept cold so pack an ice brick.
