A baked pasta recipe is a surefire crowd pleaser, especially when it's full of Italian meatballs, Classico® Four Cheese pasta sauce, and luscious cheeses. Ingredients:
16 ounces dried ziti or penne pasta |
1 (24 ounce) jar classico® four cheese pasta sauce |
1 (16 ounce) package italian-style frozen cooked meatballs, thawed |
1 (15 ounce) can italian-style tomato sauce |
1 (15 ounce) carton ricotta cheese |
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese |
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain. Return to pan. Stir in Classico® Four Cheese pasta sauce, meatballs, and tomato sauce. Transfer to an ungreased 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish or 3-quart rectangular casserole. Bake, covered, in a 350 degrees F oven for 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine ricotta cheese and Parmesan cheese. Uncover pasta mixture and spoon ricotta mixture in mounds over pasta mixture. Cover loosely; bake about 10 minutes more or until heated through. Top with mozzarella cheese and bake, uncovered, for 5 minutes more.
