Our three kids just love the fun wagon wheel shapes in this quick-and-easy recipe, relates Janine Freeman from Blaine, Washington. The mildly seasoned sauce is something that even the pickiest eaters enjoy. TIP: For variety, try it with Italian sausage instead of ground beef, Janine recommends. Ingredients:
3 cups uncooked wagon wheel pasta |
1 egg |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon minced garlic |
1/8 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper |
1/2 pound ground beef |
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese |
2 tablespoons seasoned bread crumbs |
1-1/2 cups meatless spaghetti sauce |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat the egg, salt, garlic and pepper. Add beef and mix well. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs; mix gently.
2. Crumble beef mixture into a large skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the spaghetti sauce. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 2-4 minutes or until heated through.
3. Drain pasta; place in a serving bowl. Add beef mixture; sprinkle with 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese. Toss until pasta is well coated and cheese is melted. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella. Yield: 5 servings.
