1. Video tutorial: Crushing garlic

1. Heat the oil in a medium pan and fry the onion for 5 mins until softened and lightly golden. Stir in the garlic and cook for a further min. Mix in the tomatoes and sugar, bring to the boil and simmer for 20 mins. Add a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce and season to taste. This basic sauce can now be chilled or frozen, see recipe intro.
2. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to pack instructions. Heat the grill to high. Mix together the cheese and breadcrumbs.
3. Drain the pasta and stir into the sauce. Tip in the frankfurters and spoon into a heatproof dish. Scatter over the cheesy crumbs and grill for 3-5 mins or until bubbling hot and golden. Serve with a simple salad.

'This was a really straightforward and simple recipe, the results were impressive and it smelled delicious. We loved the topping. The frankfurters were an easy way to add protein. We would definitely cook it again.'

  This was really good though I used Veggie sausages instead of frankfurters. I also used soy sauce instead of Worchester sauce as my sister has allergies

  I would possibly make it again, but not freeze it, that was not successful, the pasta ended up very dry, and uneatable (well, for any body else but my family!)

  I think they mean you can freeze the sauce but not the pasta, this sounds nice, think I will try it

  This was enjoyed by all the family and even approved even by my 3 year son! Used veggie sausages and tomato ketchup in place of the Worc sauce (as suggested by the 3 year old!) Will be making again.

  We used Kabanos instead of frankfurters and I also added a red pepper with the onion. I used a bit more pasta for two people - 200g instead of 100g - we tend to eat too much.

  I made this with double the amount of pasta and veggie hot dogs (frozen and thrown in with the cooking pasta then taken out and cut up as per the recipe) but the same amount of sauce with mushrooms added in and my family loved it although my son (who is very funny about things being too cheesy/creamy) thought the topping was too cheesy. It's an excellent base for more adventurous bakes!

  Doubled the sauce and put it in the freezer either for topping a few pizzas or for making this dish again. I added half a tin of sweetcorn and some sun dried tomatoes. Very nice, very cheap! Agreed with others that more pasta is needed unless you plan to follow it up with chocolate pud like I did.....yippy.

  This was great - so easy to make, even through hubby thought I'd spent hours in the kitchen! Everyone, including my fussy 11 year old loved it and I'll be making it for years to come!

  Easy meal for when your snowed in! Had a tin of frankfurters (purchased by mistake)in ths cupboard for months so delighted I could use them up and the family loved this dish so much will have to buy them again. I increased the pasta to allow for better portion size, added sun dried tomatoes as suggested by Marola, pinch of dried chilli and served with homemade crusty bread.

  Made this for lunch today - halved recipe as was only cooking for me, so portion size was perfect for lunchtime. Used smoked sausage instead of frankfurters, added a squirt of sundried tomato paste to the sauce, and served with a little spinach and rocket salad - yummy! definitely will make again :)
