Notes
Pasta shapes: Use whichever pasta everyone loves the most!
Grill: If you’re cooking this straight away, you can pop it under the grill instead of putting it in the oven to finish. It will be quicker.
Make ahead of time: If you want to make this for speed later, cook until you’re ready to put it in the oven (step 4), cover and refrigerate until it’s time to bake.
Make crunchy: You could try adding a bag of crumbled crisps to the topping for crunch
Make spicy: Add 1 tsp of dried chilli flakes to the tomato sauce for a bit of spice
Breadcrumbs: Add 4 tbsp of breadcrumbs when you add the cheese on top for extra crunch
Creamy: You could add 100g/3.5oz of cream cheese or creme fraiche to the tomato sauce if you want a creamier dish
