Whole Wheat Pasta Bake

I needed a quick and easy meal for my busy night tonight.  This baked in the oven while I got dressed up for an 80s Murder Mystery Party at my house with the Young Women from church.



1 pkg whole wheat pasta
1 jar of your favorite pasta sauce (you can make homemade sauce if you have more time)
1 container fresh Ciliegne mozzarella from Trader Joe's, drained
shredded mozzarella
fresh basil (I didn't have any tonight)

optional: shredded zucchini, carrots, artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh tomatoes, etc

Cook pasta according to package.  Spread about 1/4 of the jar of pasta sauce on the bottom of a 9x13" baking dish.  Pour in half of the cooked pasta (and vegetables if you're using them).  Top with Ciliegne mozzarella.  Add the rest of the pasta; cover with remaining sauce.  Sprinkle on shredded mozzarella.  Top with some fresh basil.  Cover with tin foil and bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes.

You will love how the Ciliegne mozzarella melts all over!  Cheese on every bite.
