How To Make Caprese Pasta Bake | Delish

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: cheddar cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat while maintaining creaminess.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated Romano cheese

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free alternative with a similar flavor.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine marinara, ricotta and balsamic in a large bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Fold in cooked pasta and transfer mixture to a large baking dish.

Cover with shredded mozzarella and parmesan, and place halved cherry tomatoes on top.

Bake until the cheese melts and begins to turn golden-brown and bubbly in spots, about 20 minutes.

Sprinkle with basil and drizzle with balsamic glaze, if desired.
