Mozzarella Pasta Penne

Mozzarella Pasta Penne

This is the original recipe I used, probably 20 years ago! Adapted it a little over the years but thought this would be a good start for you to try and get it as you like it.

6 ounces dried penne pasta
14 ounces can chopped plum tomatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
5 ounces mozzarella cheese -- diced
4 ounces parmesan cheese -- grated
2 tablespoons basil, fresh -- chopped
salt
black pepper -- ground

Cook the pasta in boiling water until just tender.
Meanwhile heat the tomatoes and oil in a pan, breaking down the tomatoes gently
with a wooden spoon.
Add the mozzarella, half the parmesan, basil and seasoning to taste. Bring to
the boil and remove from heat.
Drain the pasta and place in 1 1/2 pint ovenproof dish.
Pour the sauce over the pasta and mix well. Sprinkle with remaining parmesan
and bake in preheated oven at 400'F (200'C) for 10 mins until the cheese is
golden.
