A jar of The Original CARINARA Tomato Free Pasta Sauce stands on a white surface surrounded by fresh ingredients including carrots, garlic, and herbs against a clean white background.

Directions

Tip: To keep the foil from sticking to the cheese, spray it with cooking spray first.

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. In a large pot over medium heat, brown the sausage, ground beef, and onion. Add the garlic last so it doesn't burn.
  3. Stir in the CARINARA, basil, 1 tsp salt, and the pepper. Turn the heat to low and simmer for 15–20 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Cook the noodles for about 10 minutes, then drain and rinse with cold water.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the ricotta (or mascarpone), egg, 1 Tbsp parsley, and the remaining 1 tsp salt.
  6. Spread 1½ cups of meat sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange 6 noodles lengthwise over the sauce, spread with half the cheese mixture, and top with ⅓ of the mozzarella.
  7. Repeat the layers, then top with the remaining mozzarella and the Parmesan.
  8. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  9. Remove the foil and bake for another 25 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
  10. Let cool for 10 minutes, then garnish with the remaining parsley. Enjoy!
