Ziti Casserole

1 pound ziti noodles (or other shaped pasta)
8 oz Cheddar cheese, grated
8 oz Monterey Jack cheese, grated
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 28 oz can of tomatoes or 1 quart home bottled tomatoes
(minus 1/4 cup liquid) - slightly blended
1/2 cup half and half or evaporated milk
seasoned bread crumbs - or make your own with crumbed fresh bread and melted butter

Cook noodles as directed, drain. Mix noodles, salt, pepper, both cheeses and tomatoes together. Put in a 9x13 casserole dish. Pour the half and half over the top.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Top casserole with bread crumbs and bake and additional 10 minutes.

*I made this last night for the fam and they all loved it. It's super simple but hits the spot.
