Parmesan Penne
My mother was not much of a cook. So I credit my husband for encouraging me to experiment in the kitchen. This is a fantastic all-in-one meal that features both a cream sauce and a meat sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 can (28 ounces) tomato sauce
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 package (16 ounces) penne pasta
- 1/2 cup butter, cubed, divided
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Directions
- In a large skillet, cook and stir beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the tomato sauce, 1/3 cup cheese, allspice, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions. In a large saucepan, melt 1/4 cup butter. Stir in flour until smooth. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese. Gradually whisk in eggs until blended.
- Drain pasta. Add the remaining cheese and butter; toss to coat.
- Spread a third of the meat mixture in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Layer with half of the pasta, a third of the meat mixture and half of the white sauce. Repeat layers.
- Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until bubbly.
