Step 1

Place an oven rack in the upper third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with vegetable or olive oil.

Step 2

In a food processor, blend together the crushed tomatoes and garlic. Add the 1/3 cup olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper and mix until combined.

Step 3

Line the bottom and sides of the baking dish with tomato slices. Pour the tomato mixture into the pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle in the uncooked pasta, and arrange to ensure each piece of pasta is coated in sauce. Arrange the remaining tomato slices in an overlapping layer on top of the pasta mixture, making sure the mixture is completely covered. Drizzle with olive oil. Bake until the tomatoes are slightly crispy and the pasta is cooked, about 30 - 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes before serving.
