Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C, then cook the baguettes to pack instructions and set aside to cool slightly.

  2. Reduce the oven temperature to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Put the meatballs on a baking tray and cook in the oven for 12-15 mins until piping hot and cooked through.

  3. Slice the baguettes in half lengthways, then top each bottom half with 4 meat-free meatballs and the roasted pepper antipasti. Spoon over the passata, sprinkle over the crushed chillies (if using) and season lightly. Scatter over the mozzarella. Put them on a baking tray, without their lids for 5 mins, then add the lids to the tray next to them and continue to bake for 5-7 mins until the mozzarella has melted.

  4. Remove from the oven, top with the remaining basil, top with the lid and enjoy immediately.
