This is one of those recipes you can make when you don't have much preparation time or when you are in one of those "I just don't know what to make" moods.
1 lb. ground beef or ground turkey
1 lrg. onion or 1 T. dried minced onion
1 can (14.5 oz.) diced tomatoes with basil, garlic & oregano
1 can (6 oz.) tomato paste
12 oz. (3 1/2 - 4 cups) uncooked penne pasta (cook according to pkg. directions)
3 cups (12 oz.) shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
Cook ground beef and onion in a large skillet until beef is crumbled and no longer pink; drain. Stir in diced tomatoes and tomato paste and 1/2 cup water. Season to taste; heat through.
Coat a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick spray. Combine cooked pasta with meat-tomato mixture and 2 cups mozzarella cheese. Pour into baking dish; top evenly with remaining cheese.
Bake uncovered in a preheated 350-degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted.
*My husband and kids are not fans of tomato chunks so I puree the diced tomatoes in the blender with the tomato paste and water.
