Penne Al Forno with Asparagus Tips

serves 4

Delicious, when paired with
Bella Sera® Pinot Grigio

8 oz. Penne pasta, cooked and drained
2C Marina sauce (choose your favorite sauce from a jar)
2T Unsalted butter
1 bunch Asparagus tips, sliced at an angle in 1-inch pieces
12 oz. Ricotta cheese
1C Shredded Provolone cheese
14 C Grated Parmesan cheese
12 Basil leaves, chopped
Extra unsalted butter, for greasing the baking dish

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter over medium high heat, add asparagus tips and sauté for two minutes. In a large bowl, place hot penne and asparagus tips, then toss with marinara sauce. In a separate bowl, mix cheeses and basil, then set aside. Put one half the penne mixture in the bottom of a lightly greased two-quart baking dish. Evenly distribute two thirds of the cheese mixture over the pasta. Add another layer of penne on top, then evenly distribute the remaining cheese mixture on top. Bake 30 minutes, or until heated through.
