💡 What's interesting
The 'gratin' technique, which involves browning a crust of breadcrumbs or cheese on top, is a classic French method adapted here to an Italian pasta dish. Nutritionally, the tomato-based sauce adds lycopene, an antioxidant, which is more readily absorbed when cooked and paired with fats like cheese.
