Some days, you just need a dinner that feels like a warm hug, right? I was exhausted after a long day and craving something cheesy. I stumbled upon this one-pan pasta bake that promised minimal effort and maximum comfort. But let me tell you, I had a little mishap—I accidentally dumped in too much cheese, thinking it would make it extra gooey. Spoiler: it turned out to be a glorious cheesy mess! The kind of mess you can’t help but dive into.
Ingredients
8 ounces of pasta (any shape you like)
2 cups of marinara sauce
1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups of water
How to Make It
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large oven-safe pan, combine the pasta, marinara sauce, water, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Stir everything together until well mixed.
Top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until the pasta is cooked and the cheese is bubbly.
Serve
Serve hot, straight from the pan, and enjoy that cheesy comfort!
