Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of boiling salted water following packet instructions or until just tender. Drain and return to the pan. Add the onion, zucchini, chilli, garlic, passata, shredded basil and marinara. Toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
