Cheesy Marinara Noodle Bake

I'm still not feeling very good at all. When I'm sick the only thing that makes me feel better is comfort food. Today's craving was spaghetti! I made a quick marinara sauce, mixed it with 3 cheeses, noodles and baked it to bubbly goodness! It really hit the spot!

Sauce:
Olive oil
1 shallot
2 roasted garlic cloves
Sauté for a couple mins
Add:
1 lg. can crushed tomatoes
1/4 fresh chopped basil and oregano
Dash red pepper flakes
Season to taste w/ S&P and a little sugar if your tomatoes are to acidy
Simmer to 10-15 min

Mix you favorite cooked noodles in a bowl with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, lots of marinara sauce and top with fresh sliced mozzarella!

Bake or broil until the mozzarella starts to get brown and crispy! Top w/ more fresh basil and dig in!
