Does anyone have an easy baked pasta recipe?

I haven't been cooking very long, so I need something pretty simple.Does anyone have an easy baked pasta recipe?
simple one, is just boil pasta, rotini perferable. Cook ground beef, and drain. In bowl mix cooked pasta, ground beef, pepperoni, maybe mushrooms, peppers or anything else you think might be good. Mix with spaghetti sauce, cover with cheese and bake for 20 min at 350

You'll need:


Penne Pasta


Ragu (2 jars is best...)


1 can diced tomatoes


1 or 2 bags shredded mozzarella


1 package cream cheese


1 tub Ricotta cheese


Dried italian herbs (basil, oregano)


Chopped garlic





Browned hamburger, browned with some diced onion ***OPTIONAL





FRESH basil leaves ***OPTIONAL








1) Boil Pasta to al dente


2) Toss pasta with ALL of the sauce and the can of tomatoes. Add in some extra dried herbs and a little garlic. I also add in 1 tsp. sugar. Toss together. It'll be saucy. That is what you want.


Add hamburger if you want.


3) In another bowl, mix SOFTENED cream cheese with the ricotta cheese. Add in dried basil. Mix to combine.


4) Put 1/2 of the pasta into a deep baking dish.


5) Put ALL of the ricotta mixture on top of that pasta.


6) Put a layer of shredded mozzarella.


7) Put the rest of the pasta on top and cover all of the ricotta.


8) Top with the rest of the mozzarella.


9) COVER with tin foil or lid.


10) BAKE in 350 oven for 45 mins.


11) Remove foil and bake additional 10 mins.


12) After you remove from oven, top whole dish with lots of fresh torn basil leaves and parmesan cheese, if you have it.


13) Let rest 10 mins before serving.

make a sausage pizza casserole. Make up your pasta until al dente. put your pasta and yoursauce together. then add cooked sausage. Now you can add other vegetables or meats. I have also make with mushroom, green pepper, pepperoni, so it's very versatile. put into a casserole dish, and place in the overn at about 350. after aboug 20 min, load on your cheese. it will take about 5 to start to melt. once it starts to melt, i turn on the broiler, on high, and broil for a few minutes. to get the cheese nice and bubbly, and adds a nice color as well

A box of pasta.


Newman's Own sun dried tomato sauce


can of diced tomatoes


pound of chicken tenders


velveeta


mozzarella cheese





Boil Pasta.


Heat oven to 400.


In your glass baking dish, cube up chicken, season to liking....i love the Mrs. Dash table blend.....two scoops of butter and about 1/4 of you sauce, mix all together and bake till chicken is done.





Now when you noodles are done, drain.





Cut up small pieces of Velveeta and add to your noodles in your pot and they will slowly start to melt.....add the rest of your sauce and dump the chicken that you baked into your pot, stir all together......pour back in your baking pan, cover with moz. cheese, bake about 10 minutes..........done. so good
Hi KG,





A couple of suggestions...





If you like the dairy-tastic taste of bechamel sauce, with some chunky bacon and crozzled cheese, I recommend whipping up a baked rigatoni dish.





This is super simple to make (it would have to be for me not to mess it up!).





Alternatively, if you're less keen on meat but love the rich taste of cooked sweet tomatoes, why not run up a baked spaghetti dish.





If interested, you can find both these recipes on this page: http://www.pasta-recipes-made-easy.com/b… (both include printable PDF shopping lists too).





I hope that's useful. Good luck!
