Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground sirloin (or ground turkey)
- 1 (6 oz.) can tomato paste
- 1 (15 oz.) can tomato sauce
- 1 tsp. sugar
- 1/2 tsp. dried basil
- 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
- Kosher salt
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 lb. tube pasta, such as penne
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 4 oz. mozzarella cheese, shredded
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375˚. Lightly grease a 9x13″ baking dish.
Brown meat in large skillet over medium heat, crumbling it up as it cooks. Drain off excess fat, if necessary. When meat is no longer pink, stir in tomato paste, tomato sauce, sugar, basil, oregano, and salt to taste. Stir in water. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring large pot of water to boil. Cook pasta just until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
In small bowl, combine sour cream, cream cheese, and egg. Mix well to blend. Stir in green onions.
To assemble, spread very thin layer of sauce mixture over bottom of the baking dish. Top with half of pasta. Spread half of sour cream mixture over pasta, then top with half of remaining sauce. Repeat layers with remaining pasta, sour cream mixture and sauce. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over the top.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until cheese is browned and bubbling. Let stand at least 5 minutes before serving.
