  • 3/4 cup half-and-half
  • 1 package (6 oz) frozen cooked salad shrimp, thawed
  • 6 oz refrigerated imitation crabmeat sticks (from 12-oz package), cut into 1/4-inch pieces
  • 1 box (9 oz) frozen asparagus cuts, thawed, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained
  • 1/3 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (8 oz)

    Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, heat tomato sauce and wine to boiling over medium heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer 4 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in half-and-half. In ungreased 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish, spread 1 cup of the tomato sauce.

    Cover dish with foil. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until hot. Top with remaining 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese. Bake uncovered 5 to 10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with basil before serving.
