Pasta Bake (with optional sausages)

Ingredients

Olive oil
1 onion - very finely sliced
1 clove garlic - crushed
1 carton passatta
1 tub marscapone cheese
(1 packet veggie sausages - defrosted and sliced)
1 or 2 large handfuls of basil
250/300g pasta (fussilli or penne?)
(Some veggie stock if necessary)
Seasoning
2 slices of bread - grated
Grated cheese - veggie parmesan or mature cheddar or both!!

Method

Heat oil in a large pan.  Soften onion and garlic slowly and thoroughly.  Add the sliced sausages and allow to brown slightly.  Add the passatta and basil and bring to the boil. Simmer.  Take off the heat and add the marscapone and seasoning.
Put the pasta in a large casserole (with a lid) and add the tomato mixture.  Stir in thoroughly.  Cook slowly and gently for about an hour - make sure it doesn't dry out too much - add a tiny bit of stock and stir in if it does.
Meanwhile grate the bread and cheese.
About 20 mins before serving sprinkle the top with a layer of cheese and bread mixed together and cook with the lid off so it browns slightly.

Serve with salad.
