Each week Dinner @ 6 will highlight a recipe using just 6 ingredients that was submitted by a reader. This week’s recipe was submitted by Kate B:
Poor Man’s Lasagna
1 lb Rotini or rotelle pasta
1 lb lean ground beef (or turkey if you prefer)
1 lb low moisture mozzarella cheese
3 cups tomato sauce
1 small onion – diced (optional)
1 green pepper – diced (optional)
Let sauce simmer. Brown ground beef, add onion and green pepper for about 2 minutes. Drain meat and veggies and add to sauce. Allow the sauce to cook for as long as you like, the longer the better.
When you’re ready to eat cook up pasta. While that’s cooking slice mozzarella. Assembly is easy, once pasta is drained simply layer sauce, pasta and mozzarella. Give 2-3 minutes for it all to work together, stir and serve.
Perfect for the fall and winter. Serve with a salad and/or some italian bread.
