3 types of pasta with a cheesy meat sauce. I have tried many recipes but never found one to have the flavor that real cavatini has.I think its the pizza sauce and green peppers that make this recipe the best I've tried..Enjoy!!! Ingredients:
1 green pepper, chopped |
1 yellow onion, chopped |
2 cups pepperoni, sliced and quartered |
6 ounces tomato paste |
32 ounces spaghetti sauce |
16 ounces mushrooms, sliced |
8 ounces pizza sauce |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 cup rotini pasta |
1 cup rigatoni pasta |
1 cup macaroni noodles |
1 lb ricotta cheese |
2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded an divided |
1/4 cup fresh parmesan cheese, shredded |
Directions:
1. In large sauce pan add all ingredients,but pasta and cheeses.
2. Cover and simmer for 1 hour.
3. Cook pasta (dente) about 10 minutes.Drain.
4. Alernate pasta,meat sauce and cheeses into a 9x13 baking dish.
5. Bake 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
6. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
7. Note-you may omit mushrooms,but you really need the onion and green pepper for a wonderful flavor - .
8. I have made this recipe again and substituted 1-can 26 1/2oz Del Monte Spaghetti sauce,1/2 cup red wine and 6 garlic cloves my family said it was as good if not better than orginial recipe.
