Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in 3/4 cup of the mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.
Broil (Optional): Preheat your broiler. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the top of the pasta. Place the pot under the broiler for a few minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired. Serve immediately.
Tips and Variations:
Vegetables: Add vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini along with the onions for extra flavor and nutrients.
Spice: Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preference.
Herbs: Fresh herbs like parsley or oregano can be used instead of dried herbs. Add them towards the end of cooking for the best flavor.
Cheese: Feel free to use other types of cheese, such as provolone or a blend of Italian cheeses.
Creamy: For a creamier sauce, stir in a dollop of ricotta cheese or a splash of heavy cream at the end of cooking.
