When I was a teenager, something inspired me. It was one of mom's easy standby's. You know the one: ground meat plus red sauce plus pasta equals dinner.
It inspired me to do two things - Add some sliced American cheese and name it "Noodle Meaty!" Okay, so it sounds ridiculous but I was younger and it made us all laugh.
Back to the story. Place the cooked pasta (usually rigatoni or a spiral variety) on your plate. Place pieces of cheese on top and let the heat begin to melt it. Spoon meat sauce over top and the cheese melts. Yum!
Once in a while in high school, I helped at home by cooking dinner. This was an easy one so I learned how to make it without much problem. (Heat meat, open jar sauce, cook pasta...) So when I had my first friend "in college" I agreed to make a huge quantity and take Septa to visit. Dorm boys and fresh cooked food equals mucho grateful.
Here's today's take.
Cook 1 box Rigatoni, Rotini or similar pasta
Brown 1+ pound of ground turkey with plenty of Italian seasoning and garlic powder
Add in 1 large jar of your favorite sauce (this week, I used strained Rinaldi, since it was on sale and I don't like the little onion pieces.)
Place pasta on plate, shred mozzarella over top. Add meat sauce and enjoy with garlic bread, red wine or a tall glass of milk if that floats your boat.
