Tomato Mozzarella Bake Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season aggressively with salt. Add the rigatoni and cook 3 minutes less than the package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water and drain.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Toss the eggplant and tomatoes with 3 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread on the baking sheet and roast until the eggplant is golden brown and tomatoes are tender, 25 to 30 minutes. (Leave the oven on.)
• Toss the rigatoni with the eggplant, tomatoes, about 1/4 cup pasta water and the marinara sauce in a large bowl. If it looks dry, add the remaining pasta water. Stir in 1 cup mozzarella.
• Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Transfer the pasta to the baking dish and top with the remaining cup mozzarella and the Parmesan and drizzle with the remaining tablespoon olive oil. Bake until the cheese is melted and golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. (Turn the broiler on at the end if you want the cheese to brown more.) Garnish with additional Parmesan and the chopped basil and serve.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven (or toaster oven) to 400 degrees F.
• 2. Cut tomatoes into thick slices, and place them on a foil-lined baking sheet.
• 4. Salt and pepper lightly, add basil (as much or little as you like) and cook tomatoes for 10 minutes, or until tender but not mushy.
• 5. Turn off oven. Top tomatoes with cheese and drizzle with olive oil. Allow to sit in hot oven just long enough for the cheese to melt.

Steps:

• Grease a shallow baking dish.
• Place the sliced onions in bottom of the dish; set aside.
• In a shallow bowl or dish, combine the bread crumbs, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, seasoning salt, pepper, cayenne pepper (if using) and garlic powder.
• Coat the chicken is eggs, then in bread crumb mixture.
• Brown the chicken in hot oil in a frypan until browned, and place on top of the onions in the baking dish.
• Pour the tomato sauce over chicken.
• Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, and then Parmesan cheese.
• Bake, covered in a 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes, uncover, and bake for another 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip the orzo into a medium casserole dish, then stir in the oil, red peppers, olives, chilli flakes and dried oregano. Tip in the chopped tomatoes, then refill the can halfway with water and pour that in too. Give everything a good mix, season, then cover and bake for 20 mins until the pasta is almost cooked. Take it out of the oven and give the orzo a stir. Remove the foil and return to the oven for a further 5 mins.
• Heat the grill to high. Take the orzo out of the oven and tear the mozzarella over the top, then grill until melted and bubbling. Serve with salad on the side, if you like.

Steps:

• 1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add potatoes and parboil for 5 minutes. Strain. (Note: these should be a little underdone so that they won't get too mushy when you bake them in the oven.)
• 2. In a large casserole dish, layer potato, tomato, and mozzarella. You will only have one layer but overlap these so that the mozzarella melts over the potato and tomato. Sprinkle with Romano cheese, garlic, salt and pepper. Drizzle lightly with extra virgin olive oil.
• 3. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is melted and slightly golden. Serve hot.

Scatter with extra basil and serve with a big green salad.
