Layered Pasta Bake

 

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 (13.25 oz) box of wheat or fiber enriched penne
  • 1 lb 95% lean ground beef
  • 1 (15 oz) can of tomato sauce
  • 1 (6 oz) can of tomato paste
  • 1 t sugar
  • ½ t dried basil
  • ½ t oregano
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1/3 c water
  • 1 c fat free sour cream
  • 4 oz 1/3 less fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ c scallions, chopped
  • 1 c shredded 2% Mozzarella cheese

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 375. Lightly coat a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  2. Cook pasta according to directions on box, then drain and set aside.
  3. While water heats for the pasta, in a large sauté pan, cook the ground beef over medium heat, breaking up beef until it is completely browned. Drain grease from pan if necessary. Add tomato sauce, tomato paste, sugar, basil, oregano, salt and water. Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, cream cheese and egg and mix together until smooth and thoroughly combined. Add in the chopped scallions and stir.
  5. Spread a thin layer of the sauce mixture across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top this with a layer of the cooked penne. Spread half the sour cream mixture over the top of the pasta. Top with a layer of the meat sauce. Repeat the layers again starting with the pasta. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the top. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes.
