Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Set a large pot of salted water to boil.
2. In a food processor, pulse tomatoes until coarsely chopped.
3. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
4. Add tomatoes and bring to a boil. Cook at a rapid simmer until sauce thickens, about 12 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, cook pasta 5 minutes (it will still be crunchy). Drain pasta and return to pot.
6. Add tomato sauce, basil, and half the mozzarella and toss to combine.
7. Transfer mixture to a 3-quart baking dish and top with remaining cheese.  Bake until cheese is golden and edges are bubbling, about 25 minutes.
