  • Total Time: 32 minutes
  • Yield: 12 biscuits

Ingredients

– 250 grams dried pasta forms the base, providing the structure and hearty feel that makes the dish satisfying

– 2 tablespoons olive oil adds a rich, smooth base that helps bind flavors and keeps things moist without overwhelming the taste

– 400 grams canned tomatoes brings acidity and depth, balancing the dish with their fresh, tangy notes for a vibrant twist

– 1 teaspoon salt enhances all the flavors, ensuring every bite is well-seasoned and full of that essential savory kick

– 150 grams fresh basil leaves infuses a bright, herbal freshness that elevates the overall aroma and taste profile

– 100 grams grated cheese for topping provides a creamy, melty finish that adds a delightful texture and richness on top

Instructions

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.

Notes

๐Ÿฅ Keep ingredients cold – cold butter and shortening create the flaky layers that make Southern biscuits special.
๐Ÿฏ Don’t overwork the dough – handle it just enough to bring it together for the most tender texture.
๐Ÿ”ฅ Watch the baking time closely – overbaking makes biscuits dry and tough instead of light and fluffy.
