NO BOIL BAKED PASTA RECIPES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; add mostaccioli and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat the inside of a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Heat a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef, onion, and garlic in the hot skillet until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.
• Mix pasta sauce, Italian seasoning, cumin, salt, black pepper, and garlic salt into ground beef mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until flavors have blended, about 20 minutes.
• Stir sour cream, cream cheese, and ricotta cheese together in a bowl until smooth. Stir cheese mixture and pasta together in a bowl until evenly coated; spread into the prepared baking dish. Spoon pasta sauce mixture over pasta mixture. Cover dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove foil and sprinkle Cheddar cheese over pasta sauce. Bake until cheese is bubbling, about 20 minutes more.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Toast hazelnuts on a rimmed baking sheet or quarter sheet pan, tossing halfway through, until golden brown, 6–8 minutes. Let cool, then finely chop and transfer to a medium bowl. Stir in 2 Tbsp. oil; set aside.
• Heat remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in a medium pot over medium-high. Cook onion, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and softened, 8–10 minutes. Add garlic and red pepper and cook, stirring, until fragrant and garlic is softened, about 1 minute. Add squash and toss to combine. Add stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and gently simmer until squash is tender, 12–15 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until very al dente, about 3 minutes less than package directions. Drain, then rinse with cold water.
• Transfer squash mixture to a blender. Add 1 cup Parmesan and purée until smooth; season with salt.
• Pour ½ cup squash purée into a 13x9" baking dish and spread to edges. Scatter pasta over sauce, then pour remaining sauce over. Top with ½ cup Parmesan. Cover with foil and bake 15 minutes. Uncover and increase oven temperature to 425°. Continue to bake until top is darkened in spots and sauce is bubbling, 10–15 minutes.
• Add basil to bowl with reserved hazelnuts, season with salt, and toss to combine. Spoon hazelnut mixture over pasta. Top with more Parmesan and black pepper.
