Baked Rigatoni Cake - A Stuffed Pasta Dish
Posted 02-04-2007 by Bean

Recipe By: Martha Stewart

Salt, to pasta cooking water
1 pound rigatoni, cooked as directed - SLIGHTLY underdone
2 tablespoons olive oil
1-pound ground beef
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, or to taste
1 28-oz can crushed tomatoes
Butter, for pan
1 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
8 ounces mozzarella cheese, coarsely grated

Preheat oven to 400°. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add salt. Add pasta; cook until slightly underdone. Drain, rinse in cold water, and drain. Toss pasta with 1-tablespoon oil to coat. Set aside.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add meat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 10 minutes. Add garlic, 1-teaspoon salt, and pepper. Cook 2 minutes more. Add tomatoes; simmer until thickened, about 20 minutes.

Butter a 9-inch springform pan. Toss pasta with Parmesan cheese. Tightly pack pasta into pan, standing each piece ON END Spread 2 cups meat sauce on top of pasta, pushing it into holes.

Bake 15 minutes. Sprinkle mozzarella on top. Bake until cheese is pale golden, 10 to 15 minutes more.

Remove from oven, and let stand 15 minutes. Run a knife around edge to loosen; unmold. Cut into wedges. Serve with remaining sauce.

Betty, that's a show stopper right there.

I've got to dig out my mom's cheesy hash brown recipe to post here.

Since it's just my husband and me nowadays, I make the whole recipe and put half in a 8" x 8" casserole and the other half in an aluminum disposable pan for the freezer. I have also used leftover turkey with excellent results. This is a great family favorite and gets great reviews at potlucks.

Enjoy!

You put the mix and the seasoning packet in the pan, and then just add the water. I guess you could mix it in a bowl first but I like to do it right in the casserole...one less bowl to wash.

Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear.
