IS RIGATONI HEALTHY RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a skillet, cook beef until browned and crumbled.
• Drain grease.
• Add oats to beef and stir well to incorporate.
• Add spaghetti sauce, cottage cheese, and rigatoni to the beef and mix well.
• In a casserole dish, add your rigatoni mixture and top with mozzarella and romano cheeses.
• Bake for 20-30 minutes or until hot and cheese is melted.
• Hint: I usually use a full pound of meat and 2% cottage cheese.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Toss tomatoes with oil on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast the tomatoes, shaking the pan halfway through, until blistered, 15 to 17 minutes. When cool enough to handle, peel the tomatoes and chop coarsely.
• Meanwhile, put a large pot of water on to boil.
• Cook pancetta in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until crisp, about 8 minutes. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat. Add onion and serranos to the pan, increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add wine and cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add marinara sauce and the roasted tomatoes and bring to a boil. Adjust heat to maintain a simmer, cover and cook for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
• While the sauce simmers, cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and return to the pot. Add the sauce, parsley and basil; toss to coat. Serve with Parmesan, if desired.
