Ingredients
- 12 ounces campanelle pasta (cavatappi, penne, or small shells will also work great)
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 3 cloves garlic (finely minced)
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1 (24-ounce) jar marinara sauce (I like to use our homemade canned spaghetti sauce (see link above) or Rao's brand)
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese (I like to use the whole milk ricotta)
- 1 egg
- 2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese (divided)
- 1/2 cup fresh grated parmesan (divided)
- 2 tablespoons fresh, chopped basil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Prepare a 9x13 baking dish by spraying with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Cook pasta to "al dente" according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- In a Dutch oven or deep-walled skillet cook ground beef, onion, and garlic together until onions become soft and beef is browned and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add marinara and beef broth and simmer for 10 minutes.
- While sauce is simmering, whisk ricotta and egg together until smooth. Stir in 1 cup of mozzarella and 1/4 cup parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
- When sauce is done cooking, remove from heat and stir in cooked pasta and fresh basil.
- Place half of the pasta/sauce mixture in the prepared baking dish. Spoon ricotta mixture evenly over the pasta and gently spread to even out, then add the remaining pasta/sauce mixture.
- Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Top with remaining cheeses and bake, uncovered for an additional 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
