Ingredients

    2 cups dry pasta serving Rigatoni, Goya, boiled to desired tenderness
    25 tbsp Great Value tomato paste And equal amount of water to mix
    16 oz Ground beef, browned in olive oil with minced garlic and drained of fat, then rinsed in fresh cold water to remove grease
    2 tsp Garlic - minced from jar
    2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    1 cup Great Value Fancy Shredded Low-Moisture Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
    6 tbsp Great Value 100% Parmesan Grated Cheese
    1 cup Prego 100% Heart Smart Traditional Sauce
    12oz package of ricotta Cheese--Great Value Part Skim Ricotta Cheese
    2 large Egg, fresh, whole, raw

Tips

The only spices I usually add are pepper and dried herbs as I use no extra salt in my recipes to cut down on sodium.


Directions

Heat oil then add garlic to skillet followed by ground beef and brown it throughout then drain and rinse meat and wash skillet of grease before returning the meat to it.
Meanwhile start a pot of water to boil for the pasta to be boiled in until tender, then drain pasta in a colander and set aside..
Add tomato paste and water mix to the beef and return to heat on stove then add half a jar of the Prego sauce and stir and heat thoroughly until bubbling to a boil. Add the cooked rigatoni to the skillet and mix.
In another bowl mix two beaten eggs with the ricotta Cheese then stir in the parmasan and mozzarella cheese.
In the dish you're going to bake this in in the oven start by layering the noodle beef sauce mixture first, then the white ricotta Cheese mixture followed by another layer of the beef pasta and sauce. Sprinkle the top layer with more parmasan and mozzarella if you've got it then place into a 350-375F oven, uncovered for around 35 minutes.
