Baked Linguine With Meat Sauce
|
1 pound lean ground meat |
|
1 clove garlic, minced |
|
1 (15 ounce) can crushed tomatoes |
|
˝ (8 ounce) can tomato sauce |
|
˝ (6 ounce) can tomato paste |
|
˝ teaspoon salt |
|
1 teaspoon sugar |
|
˝ teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional) |
|
4 ounces cooked linguine |
|
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream |
|
˝ (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened |
|
˝ bunch scallions |
|
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese |
Cook beef and garlic in skillet, stirring until no longer pink; drain and return to skillet. Stir in tomatoes and next five ingredients. Simmer 30 minutes. Set aside.
Cook pasta according to package directions; drain. Place pasta in 8 x 8 casserole.
Stir together sour cream, cream cheese, and scallions. Spread over pasta. Top with meat sauce.
Bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Sprinkle with cheddar and bake 5 more minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
