Ingredientes

  • true comfort food that you can play with to your heart’s content. It’s virtually impossible not to make
  • something warming and filling out of this recipe because the recipe is as
  • flexible as can be. It’s also a great
  • way to empty the fridge, use up ends of cheese and experiment with flavors you
  • make up as you go along. That’s
  • basically how I put this dish together.
  • All you really need is 1 lb of ground beef, an onion, a 28 oz. can of
  • tomatoes, a box of pasta of and a cup and a half of soft cheese
  • that melts easily plus enough parmesan to sprinkle over the top. And the whole thing comes together in under
  • an hour. Let’s proceed, shall we?
  • Our Refrigerator finds: Salami and Provalone
  • The
  • brutally cold weather we’ve been having has a positive side effect: you can
  • indulge in warming, comforting dishes like this with minimal guilt. And this one allows you to poke around in
  • your refrigerator and customize your pasta bake. I found some store-bought pesto, the tale end
  • of a piece of salami and then there was the cheese. While mozzarella would be traditional, I
  • discovered that some shredded cheddar and a few slices of provolone gave a real
  • twist to the taste. You could also use
  • the pesto, your fridge might hold some sun-dried tomatoes that you could chop
  • up and toss into the sauce. Or spice that sauce up with
  • leftover Salsa of any heat level. If you have a fennel bulb, dice that into the meat sauce too. Finally there’s the pasta itself; Shells or
  • Fusilli or Orecchiette could all be used. I chose Meza-Rigatoni. Regular Rigatoni would be fine but choosing a
  • smaller pasta means the meat sauce is more integrated into the dish. All in
  • all, I invite your creativity. But if
  • you must be a slave to a recipe, here it is:
  • 1 tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 28 0z can of Chopped Tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup Store-bought or Homemade
  • Pesto
  • 8 oz. of grated soft, mild cheese
