Rigatoni Family Style Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Chop carrot, onion, and celery.
  • Thinly slice mozzarella cheese.
  • In 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, in hot olive oil, cook carrot, onion, and celery until tender.
  • Add ground beef and cook, stirring, until all pan juices evaporate and meat is browned.
  • Add tomatoes with their liquid, tomato sauce, sugar, and 1 tsp. salt; over high heat, heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to break up tomatoes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Meanwhile, in saucepot, prepare rigatoni as label directs, using 1 Tbl. salt in water. Drain rigatoni and return to saucepot.
  • Reserve 1 1/2 cups tomato sauce; stir remaining tomato sauce into rigatoni in saucepot.
  • Into deep 4-quart baking dish, spoon half the ricotta mixture. Drop half the ricotta by spoonfuls over rigatoni; top with half the mozarella cheese. Spoon in remaining rigatoni, then remaining mozzarella.
  • Bake rigatoni, uncovered, 30 to 35 minutes until mixture is hot and bubbly. If necessary, cover with tin foil during baking to prevent overbrowning.
  • Garnish with parsley if you like.
