Bowtie Lasagna

This recipe gives you the comfort of lasagna without all the hassle. I am featuring three products we carry in the store that are fantastic. Rao's Tri-Colored Farfalle Pasta, Local Folks Tomato and Herb Marinara and Trader's Point Grass-fed Beef.

• 1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella or Parmesan cheese (and more for topping)
• 1/2 cup Ricotta cheese

Directions:

1) Boil pasta until al dente.

2) In a large skillet brown and crumble ground beef until fully cooked, drain, and return to skillet.

3) Add in salt and Italian Seasoning and stir.

4) Add in marinara and tomatoes and stir.

5) Add in cheeses and stir until cheese has melted over low heat.

6) Add in pasta and gently stir.
