Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• Bring 5 quarts of salted water to a boil in a stockpot.
• Combine all the ingredients except the penne and butter in a large mixing bowl. Mix well.
• Drop the penne into the boiling water and parboil for 4 minutes. Drain well in a colander and add to the ingredients in the mixing bowl, tossing to combine.
• Divide the pasta mixture among 6 shallow ceramic gratin dishes (1 1/2 to 2-cup capacity). Dot with the butter and bake until bubbly and brown on top, 7 to 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Obviously this isn't an *actual* recipe. You just eyeball it. You can't go wrong. All you do is heat your marinara sauce - either homemade or jarred will work just fine but I have a loving relationship with my homemade. :) Once the sauce is hot, add in some milk or cream to make it creamy. I usually cook enough pasta and sauce for four people and I add in between a 1/2 to 1 cup of half and half. You can also toss in some parmesan cheese if you have some. Pour the sauce over the noodles and toss. Serve immediately with a slice of garlic bread. Mmmm.
