   Cook the sauce down for 5 minutes or so, then add in the pasta, some of the pasta water, and half of the mozzarella

7. 7

   Mix everything together, then spread out in one layer in the pan (or in an oven proof dish if your pan can’t go in the oven)

8. 8

   Sprinkle over the remaining mozzarella, then add some of your favourite leftover pizza toppings (I did pepperoni, onion and pepper)
