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.
