• 3. Crush tomatoes with your hands or a food processor fitted with metal blade and add them and their juice to the pan. Preheat oven to 400. Put the macaroni in a large nonaluminum roasting pan. Pour room temperature sauce over and stir well. Bake uncovered in center of oven for 40 minutes, turning over with spatula every 10 minutes to ensure that all the pasta cooks evenly.

• 4. Note: No, there is not a mistake in this recipe.The pasta actually bakes without being boiled first. Be generous with your seasonings and garlic, as baking reduces their pungency. You can make several batches of this crowd pleaser and reheat it, but don't try doubling the recipe in one pan. I've made this many times, and it really is a crowd pleaser.
