Bake
Toss the cooked orcchiette with the tomato sauce. Transfer to a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Preheat the broiler to high; position the rack to the center of the oven. Toss the mozzarella with the Parmesan cheese and parsley; sprinkle over the pasta. Broil for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and lightly browned.
TIP If you can't find orcchiette pasta, use ziti, penne, elbows or medium shells.

Made this without the diced tomato, herbs, and used pasta on hand...my picky-ish kids both absoultely devoured this, and then opted to have it again two days later for leftovers night. huge win.
