Italian Pasta Bake Recipe

This is a simple pasta bake as is, and can be easily spiced up by changing one or two ingredients. I say it serves 6 because this is a dish where larger portions tend to be taken! Don't be fooled by the prep time; this is a quick and easy dish! Once ... More

Ingredients
- 1 medium jar of spaghetti sauce (I use Prego Traditional, use whatever or your own!)
- 1 pound ground beef (spice it up with some Italian Sausage, or lean it out with some ground turkey, but the total needs to be 1 lb.)
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus 1/4 cup same (real parm, or parm-reggiano would add that much more flavor!)
- 1 box of mini penne (I use Barilla)
- 8 oz. finely shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions
- Cook the pasta until just shy of al dente. Meanwhile, brown the meat in a skillet.
- In a large bowl, mix the cooked meat, sauce, the 1/2 cup grated cheese, and the pasta until thoroughly combined.
- Put into a 9 X 13 pan (you may want to spray the pan to ease cleanup)
- Top with all (and more if you want) of the mozzarella and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup grated cheese.
- Bake in a pre-heated, 375 degree oven for 20 minutes.

I'm the opposite, only because I've never bothered to try to make my own red sauce. Someday I hope to, because I can only imagine that it would greatly increase the flavor of the dish.
As for canned sauce, I've found I prefer Prego, but that's just me. Hopefully someday soon I can start working on my own red sauce!

I'm actually making this tonight except I'm using a pound of ground italian turkey sausage and I'm adding a chopped onion to fry with it. I'm using a spicy canned marinara sauce and using small shell shaped pasta instead. Yum!
