25g pack fresh basil, roughly torn, plus a few leaves to garnish

125g ball essential Waitrose Italian Mozzarella, drained and roughly torn
2 tbsp essential Waitrose Grated Parmigiano Reggiano
2 tbsp fresh white breadcrumbs

grill, in batches if necessary, for 4–5 minutes on each side until
nicely browned.
2. Meanwhile, spray a saucepan with oil and cook the onion, garlic and half the torn basil for 3–4 minutes until golden. Add the passata and simmer gently for 5 minutes.

Scatter with a few leaves of basil to garnish, and serve.
