1
Preheat the oven to 240ºC/ 220ºC (fan)/ 475ºF/ Gas 9

Peel and finely slice the red onion[s]
Deseed the red pepper[s] (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and cut into thin strips

Once hot, add the sliced onion and pepper with a pinch of salt and cook for 5-6 min or until starting to soften

While the onion and pepper are cooking, add the tortiglioni to a pot of boiled water with a pinch of salt, bring to the boil over a high heat and cook for 8-12 min or until cooked with a slight bite
Once cooked, drain
Re-boil the kettle

Slice the cherry tomatoes in half
Dissolve the tomato paste and Knorrchicken stock cube[s] in 200ml [350ml]boiled water – this is your tomato stock

Once the onion and pepper has softened, add the tomato stock to the pan with the sliced cherry tomatoes and dried oregano and cook for 2-3 min or until thickened
Once thickened, stir the cooked tortiglioni through the tomato sauce and season generously with black pepper

Meanwhile, grate the cheddar cheese
Drain and tear the mozzarella into bite-sized pieces

Transfer the pasta to an oven-proof dish and top with the grated cheddar and tornmozzarella
Lay the pepperoni slices over the top then put the dish in the oven for 15-20 min or until golden on top – this is your cheesy pepperoni pasta bake
