Add the tomatoes and slowly cook down until they start to fall apart, for about 15 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper
3
Cook the paccheri in heavily salted boiling water for 8–10 minutes, or until al dente
4
Add the cubes of scamorza and torn basil leaves to the sauce, then fold through the drained pasta. Serve once the cheese has started melting
