BEATLENEST RECIPE


List of Ingredients




1 pound pasta, cooked al dente and drained
2 1/2 cups Italian tomato sauce
1 pound ricotta cheese
1 pound Mozzarella cheese, diced
3 tablespoons grated cheese, or to taste (Romano or parmesan)
1/2 pound sauteed ground beef (optional)


Recipe



After draining the pasta and discarding the water, put the pasta back in the pot. Stir in the ricotta and mozzarella. Stir in 2 cups of the sauce. Stir in the grated cheese.

Transfer to a baking dish (sprayed or greased). Pat down the mixture. Top with the remaining sauce; use a little extra grated cheese on top.

Bake at 375 for 25 minutes or until the pasta on top is golden brown. If the top starts to get too brown before the dish is thoroughly baked, wrap in foil and continue to bake. Don't be afraid to use extra grated cheese if you like that taste.

Serves/Makes: 8
