CLASSIC SPAGHETTI BAKE WITH MOZZARELLA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a large 9X13 (or similar sized) baking dish.
• Cook the pasta el dente (slightly undercooked) according to package directions.
• In a large skillet, add olive oil and heat over medium-high. When oil is hot, add in the ground beef and allow to brown. Salt and pepper, then after 4-5 minutes, add in the onion, garlic, marjoram, thyme, and oregano. Stir gently and allow meat to finish cooking and the onions to become tender-taste for additional seasoning. Stir for about 5 minutes, then reduce heat to medium-low and add tomato paste and crushed tomatoes. Stir for 20 minutes and allow the sauce to reduce by about 1/3. Taste for seasoning.
• Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl (large enough to fit the cooked pasta), whisk together the eggs ricotta, and 1/3 cup of Parmesan. Add the pasta to the bowl and coat with the egg mixtures (use your hands or tongs!)
• Layer 1/3 of the pasta in the baking dish followed by 1/3 of the meat sauce, and 1/3 of the mozzarella slices. Continue this layering until all ingredients are used. Finish the layering with mozarella and any additional grated cheese, like Parmesan.
• Cover with foil and bake in the oven for 40 minutes, then remove foil and return to baking for 20-25 minutes more, or until top is golden and browned-you can also stick the dish under the broiler on low for a minute or two to speed up the browning.
• Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
