How to Make Lasagna Style Bow Tie Pasta
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Grease an 8x8 inch square baking dish.
- Boil 4 quarts of water in a large pot. Add 1 pound of bow tie pasta and cook for half the time directed on the package (usually about 5-6 minutes).
- While pasta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and sauté for 1 minute.
- Stir in 1 pound of ground beef (or turkey) and cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add 24 ounces of your favorite spaghetti sauce and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, partially cover the skillet, and simmer for 5 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, mix together 15 ounces of ricotta cheese (or cottage cheese), 1 large egg, and 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
- Thoroughly drain the cooked pasta.
- Layer half of the pasta in the prepared baking dish.
- Spoon the cheese mixture evenly over the pasta.
- Spoon half of the meat sauce over the cheese.
- Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Repeat layers with remaining pasta, meat sauce, and mozzarella cheese.
- Cover the baking dish with foil, lightly spraying the foil side facing the cheese with cooking spray.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Uncover and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
