Creamy Casserole with Tomatoes / Pasta and Mozzarella

The perfect creamy casserole with tomatoes / pasta and mozzarella recipe with a picture and simple step-by-step instructions.

  • 800 g Tomatoes
  • 400 g Tortiglioni and Fusili (leftovers)
  • 2 Fresh onions
  • 3 Garlic cloves
  • 1 Chilli pepper (Hot & Spicy) fresh
  • 500 g Sieved tomatos
  • 75 g Freshly grated Parmesan
  • 125 g Mozzarella
  • 1 cups Cream 30% fat
  • Chopped basil
  • Salt and pepper
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pinch Sugar
  1. Peel and finely dice the onions and garlic.
  2. Halve the chilli, core and finely dice (put on disposable gloves, these things are damn hot).
  3. Wash the tomatoes and cut them into cubes.
  4. Finely grate the Parmesan and dice the mozzarella.
  5. Pluck the basil leaves from the stalks and roughly tear them.
  6. Grease a baking dish.
  7. Bring plenty of salted water to the boil in a large saucepan and cook the pasta (there were leftovers) in it until al dente.
  8. Heat the olive oil in a second large saucepan and sweat the onions, garlic and chilli in it.
  9. We now add the tomatoes and let the whole simmer for about 2-3 minutes.
  10. Then we add the cream, the Parmesan, salt and pepper and a good pinch of sugar and taste the sauce strongly.
  11. When the pasta is ready, drain through a sieve and add to the sauce. Mix well.
  12. Now we take the pot off the hot plate and add the tomato cubes and half of the mozzarella. Fold in the torn basil leaves as well.
  13. Put everything in the baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cubes.
  14. Now we push the casserole dish into the oven preheated to 200 ° C (convection 180 ° C) and leave the casserole there for about 20-25 minutes.
  15. Go with a delicious garlic baguette or, because it’s late, nothing at all.
