Nutritional values

This casserole scores with a lot of lycopene thanks to the tomatoes it contains in abundance - this antioxidant protects our cells from harmful free radicals. Mozzarella and Parmesan not only provide lots of protein, but also strengthen bones and teeth thanks to the calcium it contains.

The gratin is also perfect for leftovers - because leftover cooked pasta goes just as well with it as boiled potatoes or vegetables that are already a little flabby. As a side dish, a crisp green salad is perfect, because it brings additional freshness.

1.

Rinse, core, quarter and remove seeds from tomatoes. Finely chop tomatoes. Peel and chop onion and garlic. In a pan, sauté onion and garlic in hot olive oil until translucent.
