Method

Pasta Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Penne

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and diced onion, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Stir in crushed tomatoes, rosé wine, heavy cream, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Mix Pasta and Sauce

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked penne with the sauce, mixing well to ensure all pasta is coated.

  2. 5

    Add Cheese

    Fold in the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese into the pasta and sauce mixture until evenly distributed.

Baking

  1. 6

    Prepare for Baking

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the pasta mixture into a greased baking dish.

  2. 7

    Top with Breadcrumbs

    Sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the pasta mixture for a crispy topping.

  3. 8

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

  4. 9

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve hot.
