How to Make Mushroom Mania Marzetti For Mom

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound farfalle pasta and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 11 x 7 x 2-inch baking dish.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat for 1 minute.
  4. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced. Sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.
  5. Add 1 pound baby portabella mushrooms, sliced, and cook until juices are released and evaporated, about 5 minutes.
  6. Add 1 pound ground beef and cook, breaking up clumps, until browned. Drain excess grease.
  7. Remove skillet from heat. Stir in 24 ounces low-sodium tomato sauce and 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Cabot cheese. Reserve 1 cup of cheese.
  8. Add the cooked farfalle pasta to the beef mixture and gently toss to combine.
  9. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of Cabot cheese evenly over the top.
  10. Bake, uncovered, for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
