- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp garlic minced
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 package pasta penne, fusilli, or rigatoni

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an oven-safe pan or baking dish.

- Bake for 25–30 minutes until the cheese is soft and tomatoes blistered. Remove from oven and let rest briefly.

- Add cooked pasta directly to the baking dish. Mix well to coat evenly. Add pasta water if needed to adjust consistency.
- Optional: Stir in baby spinach or roasted veggies. Serve hot, sprinkled with fresh herbs or chili flakes if desired.
Notes
Use different pasta shapes for variety. For more protein, add grilled chicken or chickpeas. Add lemon zest for brightness or Greek yogurt for extra creaminess.
