Recipe Name: Cheesy Tomato Pasta
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces of pasta (any type you prefer)
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 can (14 ounces) of diced tomatoes
- 1 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 2 eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
Step-by-Step Guide:
1. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Pour the diced tomatoes (including the juice) into the skillet with the garlic. Stir well and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
5. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. Add the cooked pasta to the bowl and mix until the pasta is evenly coated with the eggs.
6. Transfer the pasta and egg mixture to the skillet with the tomato sauce. Mix everything together until the pasta is well coated with the sauce.
7. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the pasta.
8. Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Once the cheese has melted and the pasta is heated through, remove the skillet from the oven.
10. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired, and serve hot.
