#cheesypastabake

The cheesy pasta bake is a hearty and satisfying meal that everyone at the dinner table will enjoy. There is a lot of melted mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, tender pasta, marinara sauce, and creamy ricotta cheese in it.

Ingredients: 350g pasta penne or fusilli. 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese. 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese. 2 cups marinara sauce. 1 cup ricotta cheese. 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano. 1/2 teaspoon dried basil. Salt and pepper to taste.

Instructions: Warm the oven up to 190C 375F. Follow the directions on the package to cook the pasta until it is al dente. Remove the water and set it aside. Put cooked pasta, marinara sauce, ricotta cheese, dried oregano and basil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add half of the shredded mozzarella cheese and half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Combine well. Put the mixture in a baking dish that has been greased. Spread out the rest of the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese on top of the pasta mixture. Place the baking dish in a hot oven and bake for 25 minutes with the foil covering it. Now take off the foil and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Before you serve it, let it cool down for a while. If you want, you can add fresh basil leaves as a garnish.
