Baked Pasta, better than regular!

Making a delicious pasta is one thing, but making a baked pasta is always better. Try out this amazing recipe and let your taste buds soar.


Ingredients


  • Cooking spray
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
  • 12 ounces brown gravy
  • ½ cup half-and-half
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 (16 ounce) package dry pasta
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese


Directions


Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.


Step 2

Heat a large frying pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot pan until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add tomato sauce, gravy, half-and-half, Parmesan cheese, garlic, oregano, and basil. Simmer for 30 minutes.


Step 3

Meanwhile, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in pasta, bring back to a boil, and cook pasta over medium heat until tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain.


Step 4

Stir pasta into meat sauce, then spread into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle top with mozzarella cheese.


Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, 20 to 30 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

Your body is home to trillions of microorganisms that play a vital role in your overall health. These tiny communities—your microbiome—exist in different areas, including your gut, mouth, lungs, skin, and, for women, the vaginal flora. When balanced, it supports digestion, immunity, and even mood regulation. But when disrupted by factors like poor diet, stress, or environmental factors, it can contribute to a range of health issues. In this blog post, we’ll explore how to nourish and support these essential microbiomes to help you feel your best from the inside out. And we'll discuss how they're all interconnected.
