- Bake the cheese and tomatoes for 20-25 minutes, the cheese should be melted and the tomatoes tender and juicy.

Notes
- You may not need to use any reserved pasta water, this is all up to what consistency you want for your sauce.
- If you want a smooth sauce, use an immersion blender, or blend the sauce in a blender to get a smooth consistency.
