500g fusilli pasta
2 cans of Mutti chopped tomatoes
1 tbsp tomato Puree

2-3 Cooking chorizo sausages (diced), or any of your favourite provenance sausages.

Method:
Preheat the oven to 190 deg C.
Start by boiling the pasta in salted boiling water for 8 - 10 mins or until cooked to your liking.
Drain and run under cold water and drizzle a small amount of oil to keep from sticking. Keep to one side.
Now make the sauce by adding the diced cooking chorizo to a large pan, cook for 4-5 mins or until the oils start to release from the sausage
Add the finely diced onion and pepper and cook for 5-6 mins on a medium heat until they have softened.
Add the tomato puree and cook for 1-2 mins and then add the tinned tomatoes and cook on low for 8-10 mins, when cooked and seasoned to your liking add the mascarpone and stir in until incorporated.
Mix in the cooked pasta and transfer to a baking tray, add the grated cheese and lay the sliced mozzarella on top.
Place into the oven and cook for 10-12 mins or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Serve with some batons of cucumber and some cherry tomatoes.
