Italian Hot Dish with zucchini on plate A delicious one dish meal, that tastes even better the next day. I baked it on the toaster oven so as not to heat up the kitchen. You can use any ground meat or pasta shape you have on hand. If you purchase all the items on sale this is also very economical.

Prep Time: 30 minutes

Cook Time: 40 minutes

Total Time: 70 minutes

Yield: 4 servings

Source: Taste of Home

Ingredients:

1-1/2 cup uncooked pasta
1 lb lean ground beef
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms, divided
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
salt to taste
1/8 tsp pepper
1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese, divided

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook pasta according to package directions for al dente; drain.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet coated with cooking spray, cook and crumble beef with 1/2 cup mushrooms, onion and green pepper over medium-high heat until no longer pink, 5-7 minutes.
