spicy baked pasta with olives
Ingredients
Preheat oven to 375 F.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until just barely al dente. Drain.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in the Bell Pepper Cocotte over medium-low heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and reduce heat to low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 to 10 minutes or until slightly thickened. Add olives and herbs. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Fold in pasta and about 3/4 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Top with remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Bake 15 minutes or until cheese on top is melted and bubbly. Serve warm.
