Vegetable cooking spray

2 14 1/2 ounce cans no-salt-added whole tomatoes, undrained and chopped
1 6 ounce can Italian-style tomato paste

Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 25 minutes, stirring
occasionally. Remove from heat, and cool slightly.

Add pasta; stir well. Spoon into a 13- x 9- x 2-inch baking dish. Cover
with heavy-duty aluminum foil; cut 3 slashes in foil. Bake at 375 degrees
F for 50 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Uncover; top with cheese.
Cover and let stand 5 minutes. Yield: 8 servings (about 211 calories per
