Healthy Rigatoni Bake image

I got this recipe from the book "Saving Dinner". My family just gobbled it up and my husband said the recipe was a keeper. They had no idea the oats were in there or other healthy things. :) It makes a great easy dinner and I've even served it to company.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 lb extra lean ground beef
1 cup oats (yes, oatmeal, just dry)
1 (28 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce, any variety
1 cup fat-free cottage cheese
3 cups rigatoni pasta, cooked
1 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup romano cheese or 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a skillet, cook beef until browned and crumbled.
  • Drain grease.
  • Add oats to beef and stir well to incorporate.
  • Add spaghetti sauce, cottage cheese, and rigatoni to the beef and mix well.
