Method
- Heat the oven to 200°C / 180°C fan. Cook the pasta for 2 minutes less than the pack says.

- Mix the pasta with the sauce. Spread half in a baking dish, dot with ricotta and add half the mozzarella.
- Add the rest of the pasta and top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until bubbling and golden.
Cook's noteSwap the beef for Italian sausage for extra flavour.
