Quick-Baked Pasta
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 lb. lean ground beef
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
- 3/4 c. half and half
- 14 oz. jar red marinara or spaghetti sauce
- 12 oz. jar Heinz homestyle savory beef gravy
- 1/2 c. Parmesan or Romano cheese, grated
- 1 tsp. dried whole oregano
- 1/2 tsp. dried whole rosemary (optional)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 box penne pasta
- 2 c. Mozzarella coarsely grated cheese (for topping)
- Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. Heat a large frying pan and add the oil, beef and garlic. Saute until the meat is tender, then drain off the excess fat. Add all remaining ingredients, except the cheese for the topping and the pasta. Simmer the mixture while the pasta cooks until tender. Drain the pasta and mix it with the sauce. Pour all into a 3-quart glass rectangular baking dish with the remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350u0b0 for 25 minutes or until all is bubbly hot.
