  • Total Time: 1 hour 40 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 15 oz. ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese, freshly shredded
  • ¾ cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 1 teaspoon each: dried oregano, basil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, finely diced
  • Salt/pepper
  • ¾ lb. ground beef
  • ¾ lb. ground italian sausage, hot or mild
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
  • 40 oz. marinara sauce, see notes
  • ¾ lb. radiatori pasta, see notes
  • 2 ¼ cups mozzarella cheese, freshly shredded

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta cheese ingredients and set aside. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. In a pan, heat olive oil and cook the diced onions until softened for about 10 minutes.
  3. Season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Add the beef and sausage, cooking until browned, about 8-10 minutes. Add garlic in the final minute. Drain excess grease.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the pot to combine flavors. Add tomato paste, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and marinara. Bring to a boil, then reduce and simmer, partially covered.
  5. Boil the pasta for one minute less than the package suggests, then drain.
  6. Stir the pasta into the meat sauce gently to combine.
  7. Layer half the pasta/meat sauce mixture in a greased 9×13-inch dish. Dollop and spread half of the ricotta on top.
  8. Add the rest of the pasta/meat mixture followed by the remaining ricotta. Sprinkle with 2 ¼ cups mozzarella cheese.
  9. Cover loosely with foil sprayed with nonstick cooking spray and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil, bake for an additional 15 minutes, and broil for a moment if you want a crispy top.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley, let it sit for 5 minutes, and serve with garlic bread.
