Italian Casserole
The original recipe I found for this had a very much incorrect name for this dish, I simply changed it to Italian Casserole (this is in no way like Manicotti). This does sound good, and does sound like 2 baking dishes may have to be used as well. On my to cook list. Links to the shortcuts are listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 500 grams Rigatoni pasta, OR Penne, OR Ziti
- 500 grams ground beef
- 500 grams Italian sausage, OR make from a shortcut
- 4 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
- 1 cup mushrooms, fresh sliced, and sauted, or canned
- 3 1/2 cups tomato pasta sauce, OR make from a shortcut
- 750 grams Mozzarella Cheese, shredded, divided
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180 C.
- Meanwhile, brown ground beef and Italian sausage in a large pot over medium heat, ass salt and pepper as desired. Drain the fat then stir the mushrooms, pasta sauce, half of the cheese, and cooked pasta into the meat in the pot. Once mixed, pour into a baking dish, or two. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
- Bake until the cheese is browned and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Lest rest for 5 minutes, serve.
Notes
The beef will cost about 100 Baht/500 grams, the pork about 50 Baht/500 grams, the cheese, that will cost about 425 Baht/600 grams. For 8 servings, this is about $2.12 per serving.
