Pasta casserole

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp. l. (30 gr.) olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
• Half a medium onion, diced
• 450 g of pasta, such as rigatoni, penne, fusilli, etc.
• 900 g canned chopped tomatoes
• Optional ingredients: canned tuna, canned salmon, frozen vegetables, or canned beans
• 6 slices provolone or mozzarella

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Bring water to a boil in a saucepan and add generous amounts of salt.
2. Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat and add oil. Once the oil is hot, add the garlic and onion and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook for 3-4 minutes less than the package directions.
4. Add the tomatoes to the pan with the onions and bring to a boil. Continue simmering. Any additional ingredients can be added at this point.
5. Drain the pasta and toss it with the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a baking dish and top with provolone or mozzarella. Bake until the cheese is melted, 3–5 minutes.
