Lazy Lasagna

Time: 50 mins

Ingredients

• 1 lb rotini pasta or 1 lb pasta shells or 1 lb macaroni
• 1 lb ground beef or 1 lb bulk Italian sausage, browned and drained
• 1 lb ricotta cheese
• 1 lb pre-shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
• 1 -2 quart spaghetti sauce (I prefer Classico)
• olive oil

Directions

• 1 Cook pasta a bit less than fully done.
• 2 Grease a 9x13 pan with olive oil.
• 3 Layer 1/2 the amount each of pasta, ground beef, ricotta, parmesan, spaghetti sauce, and mozzarella in that order.
• 4 Repeat except for the mozzarella.
• 5 Draw a wooden spoon through the layers in an S-shaped pattern to mesh the layers without actually stirring them together.
• 6 Top with the remaining mozzarella.
• 7 Bake at 350F for 30-45 minutes or until the cheese is as brown as you like it and everything is bubbling hot.
• 8 Note -- steamed and drained zucchini or very well-drained, frozen spinach is a good addition.
• 9 Note -- Can substitute ground turkey or chunks of cooked chicken/turkey for the ground beef if desired.
