Ingredients
- 350g mezze maniche pasta
- 200g sausage
- 500g tomato passata
- 200g béchamel sauce
- 250g mozzarella
- 40g grated Parmigiano
- 1/2 onion
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt
Sauté the finely chopped half onion in a pan with extra virgin olive oil.
Crumble the sausages directly into the pan and let them brown.
Then, add the tomato passata, season with salt to taste, and let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In the meantime, cook the mezze maniche pasta in salted boiling water.
When the sauce is ready, turn off the heat and add the béchamel sauce, mixing well.
Drain the pasta halfway through its cooking time and add it to the pan with the sauce.
Add the diced mozzarella and grated Parmigiano, saving a bit for the final gratin.
Transfer the pasta into a baking dish and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and grated cheese on top.
Bake in a ventilated oven at 200°C (392°F) for about 15 minutes, then an additional 5 minutes under the grill to finish.
