Easy Cheesy Penne Bake

• 1 pound dried penne pasta

• Sea Salt

• 4 cups of your favorite jarred marinara sauce (Classico Four Cheese)
• 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan, divided
• 1 pound fresh mozzarella, half cut into 1/2-inch cubes and half thinly sliced
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Bring back to a boil and cook for 13 minutes. Drain.

Return the pasta to the pot and toss with the marinara sauce, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan and the cubed mozzarella pieces. Season with the black pepper, add the crushed red pepper, and mix until well combined. Transfer the pasta to an oiled 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Cover the top of the pasta with the sliced mozzarella, and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan. Bake until lightly browned and hot 25 minutes.

Serve with a green salad.
