Fusilli al Tegamino is a traditional dish from Campania, featuring a final bake in the oven to achieve a crispy gratin. Here is the recipe:

Ingredients

  • 400 g of fusilli
  • 500 ml of tomato puree
  • 200 g of fiordilatte or mozzarella, cut into cubes

  • 1 clove of garlic
  • Fresh basil
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt to taste

Preparation

  1. In a pan, sauté the garlic in a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Add the spicy salami if desired.

  2. Add the tomato puree and cook over medium heat. Season with salt, basil, and red pepper flakes.

  3. Cook the fusilli in plenty of salted water until al dente, then drain them and remove the garlic from the sauce.

  4. In a baking dish, combine the fusilli with the sauce and mix.

  5. Add the diced fiordilatte and Parmesan, with additional hand-torn basil.

  6. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs to get a golden crust.

  7. Bake at 200 °C for about 10-15 minutes or until the desired golden color is achieved.
