Ingredients
- 150g Co-op penne rigate pasta quills
- 50g crusty bread (we used Co-op Irresistible sourdough)
- ½ x 280g jar sun-dried tomatoes, roughly chopped, oil reserved
- ½ x 25g pack basil, leaves only, torn
- ½ x 125g ball mozzarella, torn
Method
- Bring a large pan of water to the boil and cook the pasta according to the pack instructions
- Whizz the bread (including the crust) in a food processor until you have crumbs
- Heat 2 tbsp of the sun-dried tomato oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat
- Once sizzling, stir in the crumbs and cook until crisp, then set aside
- Add the tomatoes to the pan and heat for 1-2 mins
- Drain the cooked pasta and stir into the tomato pan, along with a splash of the cooking water and half the basil
- Divide between 2 bowls, then top with the torn mozzarella, crisp breadcrumbs and remaining basil to serve
