Cooking level
Instruction mode
Safe temp: Ground meat
160°F · Use a food thermometer
1. Cook the pasta
Cook the pasta until just tender and drain.
Tender means a fork slides in with very little resistance.
2. Cook the beef
Brown the ground beef with onion and garlic.
Ground meat: 160°F. Use a food thermometer and check the middle of the patty or crumble cluster once it is nearly done.
3. Make the sauce
Add tomato sauce and simmer for 5 minutes.
A simmer uses small steady bubbles, not a hard rolling boil.
4. Make the sauce
Combine pasta with the meat sauce and half the cheeses.
5. Step 5
Transfer to a baking dish, top with remaining cheese, and bake until bubbly.
