# Baked Penne with Marinara and Fresh Mozzarella - Made In

Simple ingredients, big payoff. An easy homemade marinara, pockets of melty fresh mozzarella, and tender penne come together in one pan for a comforting dinner that's just as perfect for weeknights as it is for feeding a crowd.

There's something nostalgic about baked pasta, but this version feels lighter and fresher than most. A simple homemade marinara, plenty of basil, and fresh mozzarella let a handful of good ingredients do all the work.

The roomy [14-inch Weeknight Pan](https://madeincookware.com/products/ceramic-weeknight-pan) makes it easy to build the entire dish in one vessel, from simmering the sauce to tossing the pasta and baking until bubbling. Bring it straight to the table and serve family-style while the cheese is still perfectly melty.
