Method

  1. Boil the pasta (a rough indicator of the cooking time is on the back of the packet) then strain in a colander.
  2. Fry the chopped garlic in oil in a saucepan for a few minutes and add the sliced mushrooms and chopped olives. Stir and add the chopped tomatoes with mixed herbs. Add the pasta, mix together and leave to stand.
  3. Put butter, flour and milk into a saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring constantly with a ballon whisk until you have a smooth glossy sauce. Add the grated mozarella off the heat and stir gently.
  4. Pour half of the cheese sauce into the bottom of the dish. Layer the tomato pasta sauce on top and finally cover with the remaining cheese sauce.
  5. Finally, garnish with tomato and parmesan and bake for 20 mins, Gas Mark 5 (190oC)
