How to prepare: Pasta alla Sorrentina
To prepare the Sorrento pasta, start with the tomato sauce. In a pan, heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a clove of garlic. Add the tomato puree and basil. Add half a teaspoon of sugar to remove acidity. Season with salt. Let the tomato sauce cook for about 20 minutes on a low heat. Meanwhile, cook the pasta. Once the pasta and sauce are ready, begin to assemble your dish. Put a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of a pot or an ovenproof dish which will later go into the oven.
Add half of the cooked pasta. A few spoonfuls of tomato sauce and turn it so that it is all seasoned.
Chop the mozzarella and arrange it on the pasta. Sprinkle a generous amount of parmesan on top of the mozzarella.
Complete with another layer of pasta. Season it with the sauce and a few leaves of fresh basil.
Another layer of mozzarella and parmesan. Put in a static oven at 200 ° for 15/20 minutes.
When the pasta alla Sorrentina will be golden brown on the surface, take it out of the oven and serve.
