How to Make Aunt Marion's Noodles Napoli
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add 1 pound ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced; 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes; 2 tablespoons tomato paste; 1 teaspoon dried oregano; and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Cook 1 pound pasta (like penne or rigatoni) according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water.
- In a medium bowl, whisk 1 large egg lightly. Pour it over the cooked noodles and toss to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 10 ounces fresh spinach, chopped; 1 tablespoon olive oil; 8 ounces small curd cottage cheese; 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese; and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9 inch baking dish.
- Pour half of the tomato meat sauce into the prepared baking dish.
- Layer half of the noodles over the sauce.
- Spread the spinach mixture evenly over the noodles.
- Repeat layers with remaining noodles and tomato sauce.
- Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove the foil and top with 8 ounces processed cheese, cut into squares.
- Bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
