  6. Add in the chopped tomatoes, herbs, salt and pepper to taste and the soft cheese.
  7. Reduce the heat to a simmer and mix everything together, stirring until the cheese has fully melted into the sauce.
  8. Add in the drained pasta and mix well.
  9. Pour the mixture into a baking dish and top with grated cheese.
  10. Bake for around 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden.
