2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
good pinch chilli powder
400g spaghetti, broken into short lengths
handful basil leaves, plus a few extra
250g pack mozzarella, sliced
50g grated parmesan (or vegetarian alternative)

Steps:

Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat the oil in large pan, add the garlic and fry for 1 min. Add the tomatoes, chilli and seasoning, bring to the boil and simmer for 10 mins.

Scatter with extra basil and serve with a big green salad.
