METHOD

1. Start by cutting in half the cherry tomatoes and cook them in a pan with a little oil. Once they are soft, add the Atlante Brand Arrabbiata sauce and mix the ingredients. Wait a few moments for the sauce to heat up and then add a few basil leaves. The sauce is ready!
2. Now prepare the béchamel. Firstly, melt the butter in a pan, add the flour and stir for a couple of minutes, until you create what is called roux. Now pour the milk several times and continue to mix with a kitchen whisk, to avoid the formation of lumps. Bring the béchamel to a boil and season with salt. Once you reached a creamy texture, remove from the heat.
3. Fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil. When the water is boiling, add a pinch of salt and your Atlante Brand Lumaconi. Let them cook for the time indicated on the pack.
4. Drain the pasta al dente and toss it in a pan with the sauce. Then pour two tablespoons of béchamel on the bottom of an ovenproof dish and arrange the Lumaconi on its entire surface. Use the leftover béchamel as a filling for the pasta and finish the preparation with a bit of oil and grated Grana. 
5. Bake it in a preheated oven at 180 ° C for 15 minutes, until the surface is perfectly browned. Remove from the oven, portion your baked pasta and ... enjoy your meal!
