The ingredients needed for your recipe.

  • 250g of Panzani coquillette pasta
  • 1 onion
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 400g of tomato sauce
  • 1 knob of butter
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • A little grated cheese

Instructions

Follow these steps carefully to get the best results.

  • Heat a large pot of salted water and add the Panzani Coquillettes. Al dente, always! Don't let them get soggy; good pasta deserves respect.
  • While it's cooking, we'll prepare the sauce at our leisure. In a pan, pour the olive oil and sauté the finely chopped onion. When it becomes translucent, add the minced garlic.
  • Then add the Panzani Provençal Tomato Sauce. Stir, let it simmer for a few minutes over low heat: the herbs of Provence will mingle with the onions, and there… it already smells like the South!
  • Drain the pasta shells, add them to the pan, and mix everything together. Let them gently absorb the sauce, like a fine wine that takes time to breathe.
  • Just before serving, add a knob of butter. Yes, a knob! It's this small chef's touch that transforms an "everyday" dish into a truly pleasurable moment.
  • Serve piping hot, sprinkled with a little grated cheese. And then you'll see… coquillettes are anything but a children's dish. It's pure French nostalgia, on a plate.

Gourmet Tip

Want an even more substantial dish? Add diced ham or a few black olives to enhance the Mediterranean flavor. And if you like a gratin, bake it for a few minutes with a layer of cheese—pure bliss!
