500g Spaghetti
1 bottle Tomato Sauce (Homemade or Bought)
300g Spanish Green Olives (sliced)
250g Mozzarella
200g Parmesan (to sprinkle on pasta)
1 clove Garlic

Method:
- Heat oil in a large sauce pan along with clove of garlic add tomato sauce and bring to boil than let simmer for half an hour.
- While sauce is cooking heat water in another large sauce pan and wait for it to boil.
- Once boiled put spaghetti in cook for about 4/5 minutes, then drain spaghetti and wait for it to cool.
- In the meantime get the alfoil and baking paper and cut into 4 – 6 large squares – place baking paper on top of alfoil ready to assemble.
- Take some of the tomato sauce and pop into cooled spaghetti – not a lot but enough to give it a nice red texture.
- Scoop a decent amount of spaghetti in the middle of the baking paper/alfoil square, and then add more sauce, mozzarella, olives and sprinkle with Parmesan.
- Fold the alfoil and baking paper into a little package and put on a baking tray.
- Repeat until all parcels are done then place in a 180 degrees pre-heated oven and bake for 15 – 20 mins.
- Surprise guests with the little parcels and serve on top of clean plates.
