1-First Step: Gather and Prep Your Ingredients Start by measuring out all your ingredients to make things smooth. Place 250 grams of dried pasta, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 400 grams of canned tomatoes, 1 teaspoon of salt, 150 grams of fresh basil leaves, and 100 grams of grated cheese on your counter. This mise en place keeps everything organized and cuts down on stress during cooking.

2-Second Step: Cook the Base Bring 2 liters of water to a rolling boil in a large pot over high heat, which takes about 5-7 minutes. Add the 250 grams of dried pasta and the 1 teaspoon of salt to the boiling water. Let it cook for exactly 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.

3-Third Step: Mix in the Flavors Once the pasta is done, drain it quickly but leave a bit of water for moisture. In a separate pan, heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat for about 1 minute. Add the 400 grams of canned tomatoes and stir for 2-3 minutes until they break down and release their juices.

4-Fourth Step: Combine and Season Mix the cooked pasta into the pan with the tomatoes and oil. Toss in the 150 grams of fresh basil leaves and stir everything together for another 2 minutes. This helps the flavors meld and creates a cohesive dish that’s full of fresh taste.

5-Final Step: Add the Finishing Touch Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle the 100 grams of grated cheese evenly over the top. Let it sit for a minute so the cheese melts slightly, then serve immediately. This step adds that extra layer of gooey goodness, making your classic biscuits ready for the table in no time.
