Dump-and-Bake Creamy Tomato Basil Pasta

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease a deep 8-inch or 9-inch square baking dish or spray with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together marinara sauce, Alfredo sauce, chicken broth, pesto, salt, basil, garlic powder, and pepper.

Step 3

Stir in tomatoes and uncooked pasta.

Step 4

Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish. Cover tightly with foil and bake until pasta is al dente (almost tender), about 40-45 minutes.

Step 5

Remove foil and stir the pasta in the dish. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese over top.

Step 6

Return to the oven and bake, uncovered, for 5-10 more minutes, or until pasta is tender and cheese is melted.

Step 7

Let the dish stand for about 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with fresh basil or other fresh herbs.
