Caprese Pasta



What you need,

2 cups tube shaped pasta
1 cup tomato pasta sauce, any kind you like will work
1/3 cup cream
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 oz. bocconcini, I used the small round ones (you could use cubed fresh mozzarella as well)
1 pint grape tomatoes
1 cup fresh basil
1 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
Salt and Pepper

Heat your oven to 350 degrees.

Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
Heat the pasta sauce until warm, stir in the cream.
Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to combine. Add in the basil, the Parmesan cheese, the bocconcinis and the tomatoes.
Season the pasta with salt and pepper to taste

Pour the mixture into an oven safe dish and top with the grated mozza cheese.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
