Busy Day Lasagna


Busy Day Lasagna
             Here is a great spin off a favorite family dinner!

Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) box mafalda or farfalle pasta (mini lasagna noodles or bow ties)
  • 1 tablespoon Wildtree Natural Grapeseed Oil
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • ½ cup chopped yellow onion 
  • 1 (28 ounce) can low-sodium tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Wildtree Hearty Spaghetti Sauce Blend
  • 2 (5 ounce) cans evaporated low-fat milk
  • 8 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, cubed
  • 8 ounces part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded 
PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cook pasta according to package directions, drain, and set aside. In a large skillet, heat Grapeseed Oil over medium high heat. Brown ground beef with onion, drain off fat, and add tomato sauce and Spaghetti Blend. Simmer 10-15 minutes on low heat. In a small sauce pan, combine evaporated milk and cream cheese. Melt dairy products on medium heat. Add milk and cheese mixture to noodles; mix well. Arrange noodles in bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Evenly spread meat sauce over noodles. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Bake uncovered for 20-30 minutes, or until cheese is melted and lightly browned. 
Dish may be made ahead of time and refrigerated. Increase baking time to 30-45 minutes, and cover with foil. Remove foil for last several minutes to melt cheese.
