Cooking with Jordan! episode 10 Baked Rigatoni

Time for another episode of Cooking with Jordan. You can view earlier episodes by clicking on these links Preview, OneDishMexican, GrilledChicken, Cooking(?) with Daddy, TortelliniSoup , TeriyakiChicken, BuffaloChickenBites, ParmesanChickenPastaWithBroccoli, GarbageCasserole, Cheeseburger Pie and GoldenCrustedChickenAsparagusLasagna. The whole point of the cooking lessons for J is to show her some basic easy meals, plan a menu, learn how to follow a recipe and help her become more comfortable in the kitchen...this is not anything totally gourmet or culinary school worthy. On the menu tonight, Baked Rigatoni. J made this for a potluck/math lesson for her summer school class...it was a HUGE hit and the teacher took home the leftovers!

Baked Rigatoni

boil noodles approx 8 min till tender

spread 1/2 jar of Pasta Sauce into bottom of panmix in one 15oz container skim Ricotta cheese
add one cup mozzarella to ricotta and pasta mixtureadd spices (garlic powder, salt, pepper) and pour mixture over sauce in pan
pour remaining sauce over the pasta
sprinkle 1 cup mozzarella over top of sauce
sprinkle parmesan cheese on top and bake at 350 for 30 minutes
I forgot to get a picture of the finished product and it was REALLY hard to send this off with Jordan to school without getting a few bites myself, but J has made it for the family and WOW is it ever so yummy...and SUPER easy.

I make something like that and mix in pepperoni. I call it pizza pasta. I love pasta dishes. I would never need to eat anything else!
