Ingredients
- 2 cups pasta sauce
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 8 ounces fresh bocconcini mozzarella or mozzarella cheese, cut in cubes
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup torn fresh basil leaves
- Parmesan-Toasted Baguette, (recipe below)
- 8 1/2-inch slices baguette-style French bread

Preparation
Step 1
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. In four 12- to 16-ounce or one 1-1/2-quart shallow ovenproof dish layer pasta sauce, garlic, and mozzarella. Bake 20 minutes or until mozzarella is melted. Remove from oven; drizzle olive oil. Top with basil. Serve with bread or Parmesan Toasted Baguette slices. Makes 4 servings.
Preheat broiler. Lightly brush one side of bread slices with oil. Place bread slices, oil sides up, on a baking sheet. Broil 3 to 4 inches from the heat about 15 seconds or until toasted (watch carefully to avoid burning). Sprinkle with cheese. Broil about 15 seconds more or until cheese is melted.
