Basil and cherry tomatoes add pizzazz to this cheesy dish suggested by Canton, New York field editor Marcia Hostetter. It's a light casserole that's nice enough to serve to company, she says. Ingredients:
2-1/2 cups uncooked medium pasta shells |
8 green onions, thinly sliced |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved |
1/4 pound canadian bacon, diced |
1/4 cup minced fresh basil or 1-1/2 teaspoons dried basil |
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper |
3/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute onions in oil until tender. Stir in the tomatoes, bacon, basil and pepper; cook and stir until tomatoes are softened. Rinse and drain pasta; stir into tomato mixture. Add half of the cheese.
2. Transfer to a 1-1/2-qt. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 8-10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Yield: 4 servings.
