Method

Preheat the oven to 190 °C. Cook the egg noodles in salted boiling water 7 minutes, drain and return to pot.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, half the mozzarella, salt and pepper; mix until coated.
Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish, top with the remaining mozzarella and basil.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Let it rest 5 minutes before serving so the horror can settle.

Add the cheese in two stages – one inside the sauce for melt, one on top for that perfect crust.

Pairs beautifully with Play a classic B‑movie soundtrack on loop while the casserole crisps.

So… how was it? Be honest.
