From Everyday with Rachel Ray. Tweaked just a tiny bit by me. A sturdy bun is a must, and a little more fresh basil on top never hurt anyone. Ingredients:
1 lb extra lean ground beef |
1/2 lb ground lean pork |
salt and pepper |
1 teaspoon olive oil |
1 small onion, finely chopped |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can italian crushed tomatoes |
1 handful basil, shredded |
2 tablespoons butter |
2 tablespoons flour |
1 cup milk |
1 dash nutmeg |
1/2 cup lowfat ricotta cheese |
1/4 cup parmesan cheese |
4 hamburger buns or 4 ciabatta, rolls-toasted |
Directions:
1. In large bowl, season meat with plenty of salt and pepper. Form into 4 patties, thinner in middle for more even cooking.
2. In a saucepan, heat oil over med heat. Add onion and cook til softened, about 5 min; add the garlic and cook 2 min more, then stir in the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Lower the heat and simmer 5 min; stir in basil.
3. In large skillet, heat a drizzle of oil over med-high. Add patties and cook, turning once til desired doneness.
4. While patties are cooking, in small saucepan, melt butter over med heat; whisk in flour for 1 min then whisk in milk. Season with salt , pepper, and nutmeg. Cook til thickened, about 5 minute Stir in ricotta and parmesan.
5. Spoon some red sauce on roll bottoms, then top with patties. Dollop with cheese sauce and place top bun on cheese.
