Caprese Pasta

I saw this recipe for Caprese pasta a few weeks ago and decided I had to make it. It was really good! I might make a few changes but I would make it again!


Ingredients:
4 oz fresh mozzarella, cubed (you could probably use regular mozz here too)
4 oz mozzarella, shredded
1/4 C basil, chopped
1 C tomato pasta sauce
1/2 pint cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1/3 C half & half
1/4 C shredded parmesan cheese
salt
8 oz whole wheat pasta

Directions
Preheat the oven to 350
1. Prepare pasta according to directions
2. Heat tomato sauce. Once it's warm add half & half and parmesan cheese
3. Drain pasta and toss in tomato sauce mixture
4. Add in tomatoes, basil and cubed cheese. Salt to taste
5. Pour into a baking dish and top with shredded mozzarella (or you could use fresh and make slices)
6. Bake for 25 minutes until cheese is melty and golden and tomatoes are blistered
