Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 1 pound spaghetti
  • 1 jar 32 ounces Rao’s pasta sauce
  • 1 pound ground turkey or ground beef
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups freshly grated mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions, then drain and set aside.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey or beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  • Stir in the pasta sauce and ricotta cheese. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then remove it from the heat.
  • Add the cooked spaghetti to a large baking dish. Pour the meat sauce over the spaghetti and toss until everything is evenly combined.
  • Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the top, followed by the mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and beginning to brown. Let the baked spaghetti rest for a few minutes before serving.
