Baked Penne with Broccoli and Three Cheeses Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Heat oil in small skillet over low heat; add garlic and cook, stirring for one minute. Do not allow garlic to brown. Set aside. Cook penne in large pot of boiling salted water until almost tender. Add broccoli; cook 1 minute. Drain.
Mix marinara sauce, half of the mozzarella, ricotta cheese, basil, 2 tablespoons Parmesan, and the sautéed garlic in large bowl. Add pasta and broccoli; toss. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer mixture to a lightly oiled baking dish. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella and Parmesan over the top. Bake pasta uncovered until cheese melts, about 20 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes.
