Ingredients
 

  • 800 g Tomatoes
  • 400 g Tortiglioni and Fusili (leftovers)
  • 2 Fresh onions
  • 3 Garlic cloves
  • 1 Chilli pepper (Hot & Spicy) fresh
  • 500 g Sieved tomatoes
  • 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

Instructions
 

  • Peel and finely dice the onions and garlic.
  • Halve the chilli, core and finely dice (put on disposable gloves, these things are damn hot).
  • Wash the tomatoes and cut them into cubes.
  • Finely grate the Parmesan and dice the mozzarella.
  • Pluck the basil leaves from the stalks and roughly tear them.
  • Grease a baking dish.
  • Bring plenty of salted water to the boil in a large saucepan and cook the pasta (there were leftovers) in it until al dente.
  • Heat the olive oil in a second large saucepan and sweat the onions, garlic and chilli in it.
  • We now add the tomatoes and let the whole simmer for about 2-3 minutes.
  • Then we add the cream, the Parmesan, salt and pepper and a good pinch of sugar and taste the sauce strongly.
  • When the pasta is ready, drain through a sieve and add to the sauce. Mix well.
  • 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.
  • Put everything in the baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cubes.
  • 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.
  • Go with a delicious garlic baguette or, because it's late, nothing at all.
