1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat the oil in large pan, add the garlic and fry for 1 min. Add the tomatoes, chilli and seasoning, bring to the boil and simmer for 10 mins.
2. Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti, then drain. Mix the spaghetti with the tomato sauce and basil, then spoon half into a large ovenproof dish. Arrange half the mozzarella over the top and sprinkle with half the Parmesan. Repeat the layers, then bake for 15-20 mins until lightly browned on top. Scatter with extra basil and serve with a big green salad.

  This was a nice quick mid week meal, however the tomato sauce needs a lot longer than 10mins to reduce, I did mine for 15-20 mins and it still came out of the cooker too watery, I was expecting it to thicken up more in the cooker...it didn't. I will do this again but will definitely reduce the sauce a lot more before cooking.

  I have to agree with Sally, the sauce could take a little longer to reduce. Also, I found the addition of half an onion and a dash of balsamic vinegar really helped boost teh flavour. Everyone really liked this new take on spaghetti, it was quick and dead easy to make- well worth a try.

  Liked this as a veggie alternative to Spag Bol. Would work equally well with pasta shapes, if you have no spaghetti.

  I added some mushrooms, onion and a splash of balsamic and a tin of butter beans to the sauce and cooked some left over broccoli with the pasta. It made a really substantial meal. Very tasty, I will be making this again.
