Easy Baked Penne Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Brown meat with vegetables in large nonstick skillet. Stir in spaghetti sauce, 3/4 cup cooking creme and 1/2 cup mozzarella: cook and stir 2 to 3 min. or until mozzarella is melted. Add pasta; mix lightly.
• Spoon into 2-qt. casserole; top with remaining cooking creme and mozzarella. Cover.
• Bake 20 min. or until heated through, uncovering after 15 min.

Steps:

• Prepare penne in boiling, salted water as directed on package. Drain and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease 9 x 13 casserole.
• Heat olive oil in medium saucepan over medium heat.
• Add onion and garlic and saute until tender, about 4 minutes.
• Add tomatoes and oregano and cook until heated through.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Combine penne, sauce and 1 cup mozzarella; mix well.
• Pour into greased casserole and sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
• Bake for 20 minutes at 350.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 F.
• Cook pasta to slightly al dente, as it will continue to cook in the oven.
• While water is boiling and pasta is cooking, cook sausage in a skillet until slightly browned and drain off some of the liquid if desired.
• Add onion and pepper to the pan to soften.
• After draining pasta, put it back in the pot and add one jar of tomato sauce each to both the pasta pot and the skillet.
• To a 13x9 baking dish (college students, if you don't have a baking dish at school, you can buy the disposable foil ones at many campus convenience stores) add a layer of the meat mixture, then a layer of pasta, then a layer of the cheeses mixed together.
• Repeat this until you've used up your ingredients, making the top layer a cheese layer. Make sure the top is totally covered with cheese (if you don't use all the grated cheese, that's fine. I just like a lot of cheese.).
• Bake for 20-30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• On a baking sheet, toss the peppers, zucchini, squash, mushrooms, and onions with olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and dried herbs. Roast until tender, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook for about 6 minutes. Since you will be cooking the pasta a second time in the oven, you want to make sure the inside is still hard. Drain in a colander.
• In a large bowl, toss the drained pasta with the roasted vegetables, marinara sauce, cheeses, peas, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Using a wooden spoon, gently mix, until all the pasta is coated with the sauce and the ingredients are combined.
• Pour the pasta into a greased 9 by 13-inch pan. Top with the remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan and butter pieces. Bake until top is golden and cheese melts, about 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
• Heat oil in a large, deep skillet. Place sausage and onion in the skillet and cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain excess fat. Pour in wine, and cook for 1 minute, stirring, to deglaze the pan. Stir in tomato sauce, diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Toss with cooked pasta, and place in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle top with mozzarella.
• Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions; drain. In a large skillet, saute green pepper and onion in oil for 6-7 minutes. Add sausage; cook and stir until sausage is no longer pink. Drain. Stir in the spaghetti sauce and pasta., Transfer to a 3-qt. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Cover and bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle with cheeses. Bake 5-10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Combine first 4 ingredients in medium bowl; set aside. Brown meat with vegetables in large nonstick skillet. Stir in pasta sauce, cream cheese mixture and 1/2 cup mozzarella; cook and stir 2 to 3 min. or until mozzarella is melted. Add pasta; mix lightly.
• Spoon into 2-qt. casserole; top with remaining mozzarella. Cover.
• Bake 20 min. or until heated through, uncovering after 15 min.

Steps:

• In a pan over medium-high heat, melt butter, then add the chicken breast.
• Season with salt, pepper, oregano, and basil. Cook 8-10 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked. Remove from heat and set chicken aside.
• In the same pan over medium heat, melt butter and add the garlic. Cook until the garlic begins to soften.
• Add half of the flour to the garlic and butter, stirring until incorporated. Then add the rest of the flour and stir.
• Pour in the milk a little bit at a time, stirring well in between, until fully incorporated and sauce begins to thicken.
• Season with salt, pepper, oregano, and basil, and stir well to incorporate.
• Add parmesan cheese and stir until melted.
• Pour the sauce over cooked penne pasta, add the chicken and mix well.
• Add parsley and extra parmesan. Mix well.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Prepare the penne rigate according to the package directions, minus 1 or 2 minutes of cooking time (see Cook's Note). Drain, then pour the pasta into a 9-by-13-inch glass baking pan.
• In a 4-quart saucepan, melt the butter on medium-low heat. Whisk in the flour until it's dissolved. Add the cream to the saucepan. Add the nutmeg, seasoned salt, and black pepper and whisk the mixture until it's warmed through.
• Reduce the heat to low, and add the mozzarella, Cheddar, and Parmigiano-Reggiano. Stir until you have a smooth cheese sauce.
• Pour the sauce over the pasta and top with the breadcrumbs.
