Three Cheese Baked Pasta

Last night I made a new recipe from All Recipes and it was amazingly easy and a real crowd pleaser. This one I will definitely make again and again.


Three Cheese Baked Pasta

Mozzarella, provolone and Parmesan cheeses are layered with cooked pasta, tart sour cream and tomato sauce flavored with onions and ground meat to make a deliciously hearty casserole.

1 pound uncooked pasta
1 pound ground beef
1 onion, chopped
6 1/2 cups (26-27 ounces) tomato pasta sauce
8 ounces provolone cheese, thinly sliced
16 oz. sour cream
8 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in boiling water until al dente. Drain.

Meanwhile, cook ground meat and onion in a skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until meat is browned. Stir in pasta sauce, reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer the ingredients in the prepared baking dish as follows: half of the cooked pasta, all the provolone cheese, all the sour cream, half of the sauce mixture, remaining pasta, mozzarella cheese, and remaining sauce mixture. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.

Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until bubbly.
