How to Make Adriana S Pasta Pie

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the meat crust: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, sausage, breadcrumbs, egg, Parmesan cheese, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
3. Press the meat mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
4. Bake for 15 minutes. This partially bakes the crust.
5. Prepare the pasta sauce: In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, cook until softened.
6. Add ground beef, sausage, and tomatoes. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
7. Add the remaining sauce ingredients: oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Stir well and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes.
8. Cook pasta according to package directions.
9. Once the pasta is cooked, drain and set aside.
10. Spread half of the pasta sauce over the partially baked meat crust.
11. Layer the cooked pasta evenly over the sauce.
12. Top the pasta with the remaining sauce and mozzarella cheese.
13. Bake for 1 hour, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown. If baking from frozen, bake for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.
14. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
