Chef's Notes
Do not boil the pasta beforehand! The magic of this dish relies on the raw penne soaking up the liquid from the marinara sauce as it bakes in the oven, creating its own rich, concentrated starch-infused sauce.
Pro Tip
If you want an extra layer of crunch, toss a handful of breadcrumbs mixed with a splash of olive oil right on top of the mozzarella during the last five minutes of baking.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Failing to cover the pasta evenly with sauce will leave dry, rock-hard penne poking out of the top like ancient ruins, while over-baking will burn the mozzarella into a bitter, inedible rubber shield.

My mother's cooking was so simple, the smoke detector in our kitchen had its own seat at the table.
The Culinary Science
Starch molecules inside dry pasta absorb free water and swell up when heated. In a casserole, the liquid from the marinara sauce hydrates the pasta while the surrounding protein network of the melting cheese traps steam underneath, speeding up the overall cooking time.
