  • Step 1

    Preheat the grill to 180C and bring a pan of salted water to the boil. Meanwhile, finely chop up the garlic, dice the onion and halve the cherry tomatoes.

  • Step 2

    Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente.

  • Step 3

    Preheat a frying pan or a saucepan over medium heat, add olive oil, then add the onion and garlic. Cook, stirring regularly for 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent.

  • Step 4

    Stir in the tomato passata. Once it begins to bubble, reduce the heat and simmer. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  • Step 5

    Drain the al dente pasta and add it to the tomato sauce mixture.

  • Step 6

    Add the basil pesto, feta, cream, balsamic vinegar, half of the mozzarella, 3/4 of the basil leaves, and cherry tomatoes to the pan. Season with a tiny pinch of salt and pepper. Mix everything together until a creamy sauce has formed.

  • Step 7

    If the saucepan is not oven-friendly, transfer the mixture to a baking dish. Place the mozzarella slices on top of the pasta and place under the grill in the middle of the oven. Let the cheese melt and bubble for about 5 minutes.

  • Step 8

    Remove from the oven, top with the remaining fresh basil leaves, allow to sit for a few minutes, and then serve.
