Tomato & Mozzarella Pasta

I had pinned this recipe ages ago on Pinterest and finally decided to try it.  My family really liked it and it was healthier than the white sauced pastas that I love.  This pairs great with fresh bread and a nice salad.  Perfect for a "meat free" night and during a busy weeknight.

Tomato & Mozzarella Pasta

Right out of the oven!

2 tbsp. olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 (14oz) cans diced tomatoes
1 tsp oregano
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 lb penne pasta
8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
2/3 c Parmesan cheese

Heat oil in skillet and add garlic.  Cook about 1 minute.  Add tomatoes and oregano.  Simmer until thickened about 15 minutes.  Add salt & pepper to taste.  Meanwhile, cook pasta according to directions.  Toss with tomato sauce.  Place 1/2 of pasta mixture into a greased 13x9 baking dish.  Cover with 1/2 the mozzarella & 1/2 the Parmesan cheese.  Top with remaining pasta and remaining cheese.  Bake for 15 minutes at 400 degrees.

Enjoy!
