Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 box whole wheat penne
- 1 cup of your favorite tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
- fresh mozzarella, sliced (sliced provolone works in a pinch)
- 1 pint of cherry tomatoes (some halved, some left whole)
- 1 bunch of fresh basil leaves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Boil water and cook pasta according to directions.
- While pasta is cooking, heat tomato sauce over low heat in a large saucepan. Once warm, stir in sour cream and grated parmesan.
- Once pasta is done cooking, drain and dump into the sauce, mixing to coat and turning off heat. Add the tomatoes and a few chopped basil leaves. Once combined, spray a baking dish with non-stick spray and pour the entire pasta mixture into the dish. Top with the sliced cheese (as much as you want).
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until cheese is golden and bubbly. Top with additional fresh basil!
