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.'

  We loved this recipe and have made on several occassions. I do add more tomatoes and also added sweetcorn or frozen peas but a perfect quick weekday dinner.

  Tasy enough, easy to make - did a veggie version and meat version at the same time. But never going to be a favorite.

  This came up as the first page when I searched for pasta bake recipes, and seeing as you don't bake it, it's not really a pasta bake is it??

  My tribe love it, but I'm not a big fan of tomatoes unless they're well disguised with other flavours so I tend to make myself something else to eat on the days I make this.

  I found the simmer time to be a little short - there still seemed a bit too much raw tomato taste for my liking. It's adequate, and I'll probably make it again for a quick and easy meal.
