Add 1 small glass of water plus tomatoes & simmer for about 20 mins put sauce through a food processor to make a loose sauce. Add a handful of torn basil leaves ,salt,pepper & a small glug of red wine vinegar. Bring the pan of water back to the boil & cook Pasta according to packet instructions Drain pasta & toss with half the tomato sauce & a handful of grated parmesan Oil a baking dish (the sort of deep dish you would make Lasagne in is good) & layer the pasta ,then some tom sauce ,a little parmesan & 1 ball of the moxerella,repeating the layers until all is used up,ending with a layer of cheese. Cook for 15 mins, until the top is golden crisp & bubbling. TIPS - Pasta is available from Tesco Finest range I used garlic in oil & also chilli in oil which was fine Buffalo Mozzerella is really nice in the sauce I used tinned toms, which were great It is just as nice cold - my daughter took it for her packed lunch the next day!
