Oven-Baked Italian Tomato Noodles
This one-dish pasta bake skips the boiling pot entirely: dry noodles cook right in the tomato and marinara sauce, soaking up flavour instead of plain water as they soften. Everything goes into one baking dish: chopped onion, bell pepper, canned tomatoes, marinara, olive oil and Italian herbs, with a rinse of water from the empty cans to give the pasta the liquid it needs. Press the noodles under the sauce, cover with foil and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 20 minutes, then finish uncovered with mozzarella until the top is golden and bubbling. Dinner for four with about 10 minutes of prep.
