Pasta Al Forno

This recipe blew me away!  I made it on a night when Brad was out of town and my expectations were probably a little low.  So. Good.


Pasta Al Forno
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 (14.5 oz.) cans Italian diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried oregano
salt, pepper, and sugar
1 lb. pasta, tubes
8 oz. mozzarella, cubed into very small pieces
2/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Heat oil in large skillet to medium heat.  Add garlic and cook for about a minute. Pour in tomatoes and seasonings and simmer for about 10 minutes until it thickens up a bit.  Cook pasta according to package directions.  Stir into tomato sauce.  Place half the noodles in a greased 9x13.  Layer with half the mozzarella cheese and half the Parmesan cheese.  Repeat layers.  Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.

**I only made half this recipe for the kids and I since Brad was out of town. It was sooooo easy and soooooo good. It will definitely be a staple in our dinner repertoire!
