I think I should have been born in Italy. I LOVE pasta! Seriously LOVE! My favorite foods are pastas and breads (yes, I know....lots of carbs....). Another thing I love is cheese =) (yes, I know, more calories) So I love that this dish has lots of cheese and pasta. while I was dishing it up the cheese was stringing out, kinda like it does with pizza (another favorite of mine). The kids wolfed it down.
Chicken, Tomato and Mozzarella Pasta
2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2-14 oz. cans diced Italian plum tomatoes
1 tsp. dried oregano
salt and pepper
1 lb. pasta (tubes)
8 oz. mozzarella cheese, shredded (I may have used more because my family is full of cheese freaks)
2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2-14 oz. cans diced Italian plum tomatoes
1 tsp. dried oregano
salt and pepper
1 lb. pasta (tubes)
8 oz. mozzarella cheese, shredded (I may have used more because my family is full of cheese freaks)
2/3 c. parmesan (I used the Kraft stuff)
2 chicken breast halves, cubed, cooked
Heat the oil in the skillet. Add garlic and cook over medium high heat, 1 min. Add tomatoes and oregano and simmer rapidly, stirring occasionally until thickened, 15 min. Add S&P.
Meanwhile, cook pasta. Toss pasta with sauce. Place half of pasta in an oiled 9×13” dish.Cover with half parmesan and half mozzarella. Top with remaining pasta, then parmesan and mozzarella. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes. Serve with some garlic bread and enjoy!!!
