Boil a half-full kettle. Dissolve half the stock cube in a jug with 150ml boiling water (75ml for 1 person). Add the sundried tomato paste, garlic herb paste and chilli flakes (to taste), then stir to combine and set aside. Halve the tomatoes.
Bring a large saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Add the penne and boil for 6-7 mins, until almost cooked. In the final 2 mins of cooking, add the cavolo nero to the pan. Drain all together and set aside.
Once the sweet potato is cooked, add the tomatoes, stock mixture, cooked penne and cavolo nero to the baking dish and stir to combine with the auberine. Tear over the mozzarella, then grill together for 7-10 mins, until golden and bubbling.
