MAFALDA LASAGNA CASSEROLE

Mafalda Lasagna Casserole

3 cups spaghetti sauce

1 package (12 oz.) San Giorgio Mafalda

3 cups (2 lbs.) ricotta cheese

1 egg

1 Tbsp. oregano flakes

tsp. Italian seasoning

tsp. salt

tsp. ground black pepper

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

Cook pasta according to package directions. In a large bowl, stir together ricotta cheese, egg, oregano, Italian seasoning, pepper, and salt. In a 13x9x2 inch baking dish, spread 1 cup spaghetti sauce; evenly layer one-half pasta over sauce. Spread ricotta mixture over pasta; sprinkle with 1 cup mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers of sauce and pasta. Spread remaining sauce over pasta, covering pasta completely; sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese. Cover with foil. Bake 30 minutes. Remove foil; bake for 4-6 minutes or until hot and bubbly. We cook this with the homemade meatballs and sausage. It gives it more flavor. Makes 8-10 servings.
