Another menu item from our Chistmas Party...
1 lb pasta, cooked to al dente according to directions
1 lb ground beef
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 26oz jars of pasta sauce
16oz ricotta
10-15 coarsely torn basil leaves
2 c mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 c parmesan cheese, shredded
salt, pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 350 F. Brown ground beef. Add garlic when beef is almost completely cooked. Drain excess fat. In a large bowl, combine beef, pasta, ricotta, basil leaves, salt, pepper, 1 1/2 c mozzarella cheese, and 1/2 c parmesan cheese. In a sprayed 13x9 pan, coat bottom of pan with just enough sauce. Add remaining sauce to bowl of meat and pasta mixture. Pour into pan and cover with foil. Bake 40 minutes. Remove foil, top with remaining cheeses and bake additional 15 minutes or until cheese is melted.
