Ingredients
Instructions
  1. 1

    To prepare the baked fusilli, first chop the parsley 1, then remove the crust from the slices of bread in a loaf 2 and soak them for a few moments, just long enough to absorb the water 3.

  2. 2

    Squeeze the bread well 4. In a bowl, put the minced meat and bread 5, then add the egg 6.

  3. 3

    Season with grated cheese, chopped parsley 7, a little salt and pepper. Knead well 8 and form small meatballs of 10 g each 9.

  4. 4

    With these doses you will get about 35 meatballs 10. Heat a pan with oil and let the meatballs brown well 11 until they are golden on all sides 12.

  5. 5

    Transfer the meatballs to a tray lined with absorbent paper to dry the excess oil 13. Clean and chop the onion 14, then let it brown gently in a saucepan with the oil 15.

  6. 6

    After a few minutes, pour in the tomato passata 16, rinse the carton with a little water and add it to the sauce, add a pinch of salt and let it simmer gently for about 45 minutes, closing with the lid (be careful to leave a vent) 17. At the end of cooking it should not be too dry 18.

  7. 7

    Cook the pasta in boiling salted water for the time indicated on the package 19. Meanwhile, cut the scamorza into cubes of about 1.5-2 cm 20. Drain the pasta al dente and season it with two thirds of the sauce 21.

  8. 8

    Add the meatballs 22, the cheese cubes 23 and mix to flavor 24.

  9. 9

    Transfer the pasta into single-portion ramekins 25, sprinkle with more sauce on the surface 26, grate a little cheese and cook in a preheated static oven at 240°C for about 10-15 minutes or until the surface is golden brown 27. Your baked fusilli are ready to be enjoyed!
