Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

  4. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 30-60 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Remove skillet from heat and fold in the drained noodles, sour cream, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar until combined.
Baking
  1. Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch casserole pan.
  2. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the top.
  3. Bake for 20 minutes until hot and bubbly, then let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
