Ingredients

1/2 pound of uncooked rigatoni6 medium fresh tomatoes1 12 oz can crushed tomatoes1 small onion3 cloves garlic1/2 cup fresh basil7 to 8 ounces mozz. cheese. Either shredded or slicedsalt and pepper olive oil 1 or 2 TBSP

Directions

Cook rigatoni according to directions. Drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Saute onion an garlic over medium heat for 3 minutes, stirring so garlic doesn't burn. Add crushed tomatoes and fresh tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes until mixture thickens slightly. Add half of the basil and stir for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and add to the pasta. Pour in tomato sauce and store to combine. Pour into a baking dish or skillet
I pour half, put some mozz(lightly) then pour the remaining into baking dish.
Top with cheese and place under broiler for 5 to 8 minutes until cheese is bubbly. Sprinkle with remaining fresh basil and serve.
I made earlier in day and sat out without broiling it until about 25 minutes before meal. Put in 375 oven and it worked fine. Also threw some fresh mushrooms on top before baking.
