Baked Penne with Meat Sauce and Ricotta Cheese


The plan was to make lasagna roll ups but when I checked the pantry, there were no lasagna noodles, so instead I made baked penne.
  • Cook penne to box instructions (8-9 minutes), drain and return to pot
  • Saute ground beef, drain any extra fat then add to sauce (jar sauce with added mushrooms, garlic and fresh parsley)
  • Instead of adding spoonfuls of ricotta to the penne, I added it to the sauce to make it creamy
  • Combine the sauce with penne, place in sprayed pan, sprinkle with parm cheese and bake for 30 minutes

    1. Rita,
      That's a great substitute, I bet if I don't tell hubby, he'll never know.
