I was trying to replicate a pasta dish I had a couple weeks ago. This wasn't quite it but was great in itself. My sister said she'd gladly pay for it in a restaurant so I must have done something right :)
Ingredients
- 2 cups penne pasta, cooked according to instructions ( I salted & added a bit of olive oil in the water) shopping list
- 2 cups marinara sauce (store bought or home made, my recipe: marinara sauce) shopping list
- handful of fresh basil leaves, cleaned & torn shopping list
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese shopping list
- crushed red pepper to taste shopping list
- **Please note: these measurements are approximations and not exact. When I made this I used a couple handfuls of pasta which I think equals out to 2 cups as listed. Prepare it according to your liking in terms of sauce:pasta:cheese ratios. shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- Mix cooled pasta, sauce, basil, and half of the cheese in a bowl. Transfer to an 8x8 casserole dish and top with remaining cheese and place in oven. Bake for about ten minutes, until the cheese melts through.
- Change setting to broil @ 400F and broil for about 2 minutes or just until the top begins to brown slightly.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool momentarily. Top with crushed red pepper to taste.
