Pasta is love, is it not?
My husband started making this meal for me since I had my baby, and I’ve become a bit addicted. I ask him to make it like 3 times a week, and I don’t see an end in sight.
It’s cozy comfort food, it’s high protein, it’s cheesy, and it only needs FOUR INGREDIENTS?!?!?! And made in 30 min. Plus my insanely picky toddlers love it so for me it’s wins all around.
This dish has become part of my heart, and I’m sharing it with you hoping it becomes part of yours, too! ♥️
4-INGREDIENT COZY PASTA BAKE
1 pack of favorite pasta, cooked and drained
1 lb ground beef
1 jar of fav pasta sauce (I use Michael’s of Brooklyn)
1 container of cottage cheese (or use 2 for an extra cheesy layer)
Optional: Salt + pepper to taste, if needed
MAKE IT
Preheat oven to 350F
Heat a nonstick pan over medium/high heat and add ground beef. Cook fully until browned. I use a wooden spatula to break up the pieces and get it crumbly.
Blend entire container of cottage cheese. You shouldn’t need to add any liquid, it should blend well on its own!
Layer a deep baking dish with pasta, pour in the pasta sauce and mix together.
Then add layer of ground beef.
Top with layer of cottage cheese sauce.
Place in oven for about 20 minutes, or until cheese layer on top has set.
Enjoy 🙂
