Baked pasta that's comfort food

Carbs always fill the stomach and in turn, the soul. It is a comfort food staple loved by everyone. And the easiest and tastiest version is made with a tomato meat sauce covered with loads of cheese. 

My pantry is fully stocked most times. It's an OCD thing. I cannot bear an empty fridge, cupboard, shelf etc. I know it's excessive but I hate the feeling of being short of a particular ingredient. The tomato meat sauce it's real easy to whip if you keep a good variety of spices eg parsley, basil, oregano, bay leaf, paprika and important sauces such as Worcestershire sauce, chopped tomato and key aromatics. 

I decided to use fusili instead of penne for a change. Good decision as its softer and turned out mushed in all the meat goodness. Layer the cooked fusili with the sauce and two types of light cheese. I always have cheddar and mozzarella. Bake in 180 degrees Celsius for about 30 mins. It will always come out golden brown on top and wet and soft inside. 

It was so good with so much leftovers, it became a weekday lunch at work for 3 hungry men. And it was still delicious!
