Pasta Pesto Bake

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 325 F.
2. 2
   Prepare the noodles per the box instructions.
3. 3
   Drain and add them into a baking dish (I used a large oval baker but a 9x13 should work fine as well).
4. 4
   Combine the pesto and butter then mix it into the cooked noodles.
5. 5
   Mix well.
6. 6
   Add the tomatoes and tomato sauce and mix well.
7. 7
   Finish by adding the cheese in 2 steps.
8. 8
   Mix a little into the whole dish but put the majority on the top to get that crisp cheese topping.
9. 9
   Bake in a 325 F oven for 5 minutes just to get a good melt on the cheese.
10. 10
    Then, turn the oven to high broil and brown the cheese.
11. 11
    Serve and enjoy!
