Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 lb bulk Italian sausage
1/2 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 carrot, grated
3 garlic cloves, pressed
1 cup chicken stock
1 (28 ounce) can roasted tomatoes, crushed
1 cup tomato sauce (I use Prego or Classico)
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon basil, dried
1 lb campanelle pasta (any shape will work, but this provides a nice presentation)
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Brown sausage and beef until cooked through, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain off any fat.
  • Add onion, carrot and garlic. Cook until vegetables are soft.
  • Add chicken stock and deglaze pan. Then add crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, bay leaf and basil. Add salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil then turn down and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Cook pasta as directed in salted water until just al dente.(about 8 minutes) Drain. Spread pasta into a 9x13" pan.
  • Remove bay leaf from sauce and stir in parsley. Combine sauce with pasta.
  • Drop spoonfuls of ricotta into pasta and stir until combined. Sprinkle with cheeses.
  • Bake for 20-30 minutes at 350 degrees until cheese is browned and sauce in bubbley.
