Baked Fettuccine with Meat Sauce and Tons-O-Mozzarella
While growing up, Sundays meant cooking red sauce and frequently some kind of pasta dish for dinner with the family (Dad’s side of the family was from Southern Italy).
Today I’m celebrating this heritage - and the fact that the temperature has finally gone below that of molten lead. So, I turned on the oven, poured myself a 🍷and got to cookin’.
This makes about 6+ servings

Put about half of the sauced pasta into your baking dish (for ribbon pasta, kitchen tongs really help). Top with 1 cup of the fresh mozzarella. Then add remaining sauced pasta and top with shredded mozzarella. Now top with remaining fresh mozzarella. Take a pic and celebrate - yeah, baby!!! Dinner is in work!!

Bake for about 30-45 mins. If the cheese is getting brown too quickly, remove from oven, loosely tent with foil and return to the oven.

Once it’s ready (melted, browned cheese and everything is thoroughly heated through), remove from oven and let cool for about 10 mins (unless you’re into burning all of the skin off of the roof of your mouth).

Mozzarella stuffed meatballs in tomato sauce Mozzarella stuffed meatballs in tomato sauce
These cheese-stuffed nuggets were intended for my daughter, but funnily it was my wife who liked them most. They work great in a sub sandwich, since the thick sauce won't run everywhere. Or you can go the traditional route and just ladle them atop a plate of noodles.

Homemade Fresh Pasta with Meat Sauce Homemade Fresh Pasta with Meat Sauce
I had dinner at an Italian restaurant last night with friends and it was delicious, so I wanted to make some fresh pasta for my son. I had just received some fresh tomatoes as a gift, and I thought they'd be perfect in a sauce, and so I made this meat sauce. My son happily ate it up.Knead the pasta dough well.It's best to let the pasta dough rest.Drain off the moisture from the ripe tomatoes before cooking the sauce. Recipe by Takashi mama -

Rigatoni with Homemade Meat Sauce Rigatoni with Homemade Meat Sauce
I love to use rigatoni with meat sauce because it picks up the sauce so well! Also, I like to change my sauce ingredients depending on what I have around at the time, and what I'm in the mood for, as far as vegetables & toppings go. One thing I almost always add to my sauce is the brown sugar. The kids and I both enjoy the sweetness in the sauce. You can make this into a cheesy sauce by adding parmesan and/or other cheeses and even cream. You can make this into a savory & spicy sauce by adding crushed red pepper and/or other hot peppers. You can add vegetables to the sauce to make a "garden medley." And, you can even make this with vegan meat! Of course sauce will always get better the longer it simmers with the ingredients. This is made quick for dinner. However, if your heart is truly in making the sauce you can continue to simmer it for a few hours or even slow cook it in a crockpot. #pasta #pastasauce #meatsauce #spaghettisauce #pastanight #italiannight

Easy Meat Sauce Pasta Easy Meat Sauce Pasta
This bolognese pasta is full of the taste of Italian home cooking.Cooling the sauce down completely after its made enhances its flavor. You can make a half portion of this recipe by reducing all the ingredients by half, but I think it is convenient to make a bunch and divide it and freeze them it for later use. Recipe by belfy -
