A simple meatless Monday macaroni dish inspired by any number of recipes, this gratin is pretty adaptable and my favorite addition, salt packed anchovies when I can find them, but not totally necessary. Fresh seasoned bread crumbs, a blend of good cheeses and additional,fresh herbs and cheese over the tomatoes before adding the crumbs gives an extra boost of flavor if you don't have the Tuscan flavored oil. Try a drizzle of olive oil over the hot pasta before tossing with the gratin. * Optional, toss tiny perline mozzarella into the hot pasta before adding the gratin. <br />
