BOW TIE LASAGNA

I have no idea why I never use bow tie pasta. It’s so cute. It’s light yet hearty at the same time. One reason is probably because I cannot find bow tie in whole wheat and I usually only buy whole wheat pasta but one trip to the store I accidentally got this box of bow tie instead of whole wheat elbows and decided to develop a couple recipes with it. The first one up is just a simple lasagna recipe. I love to make dishes like this ahead of time because when I serve it the next day or two, it’s soooo much better. This one was made to have after one of our son’s games, just dish out and heat up. 
Yum  

 What you'll need

BOW TIE LASAGNA

INGREDIENTS

1/2 pound ground turkey 

1/2 pound ground Italian sausage

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 jar marinara or pasta sauce

1/2 teaspoon basil

1/2 teaspoon oregano

Salt and Pepper to taste 

1 (12 oz) box bow tie pasta 

1 Tablespoon olive oil

1 egg

1/2 (16 oz) tub ricotta cheese

1/2 cup sour cream

1 (8oz) package mozzarella cheese or an Italian blend, divided 

DIRECTIONS
Heat oven to 375°. Cook meat, onion and skillet in a large pan until no longer pink. Add basil, oregano, salt and pepper. Add jar of sauce and simmer on low Meanwhile cook noodles according to directions, when done, drain and toss in 1 tablespoon of olive oil. In a medium bowl, mix egg, ricotta, sour cream and half of the cheese until well blended. In a 2 quart dish, layer meat sauce, bow ties, all of ricotta mixture, meat sauce, bow ties and more meat sauce. Top with the rest of cheese and bake for 20-25 minutes. Let sit 5-10 minutes before serving. 

I just made a 2 quart baking dish of this but if you want to do a big 9x13, I’d double it. This would be a great meal to have those little Mini Cannoli Cups I showed you last week.
