One Pot Pasta with Meat Sauce and Cheese

One Pot Pasta with Meat Sauce and Cheese

This is one of my husband's favorite meals.  With garlic bread and salad on the side, it is tasty and filling.  Don't let the amount of water and thinness of sauce trick you, this ends up being a hearty thick sauce.


 Enjoy!

Ingredients:
1 pint home-canned meat/spaghetti sauce
1 pint home-canned stewed tomatoes
1 pint hot water
1/4 cup +/- tomato powder (home-made if possible)
1 Tablespoon parsley
1 tablespoon dehydrated Parmesan cheese (more or less depending on your tastes)
Pasta    2-3 ounces per person uncooked  (I used 7 ounces of Penne this time)
sliced mozzarella cheese for topping

Process:
Combine and heat over low temperature  Tomato Sauce and Stewed Tomatoes, allow to simmer about 15 minutes then add the boiling water and stir well.
[The sauce thickens as the pasta cooks and absorbs the water. ]

Add Tomato Powder and Parmesan Cheese, stir.
Add Pasta, combine well, cover and set on low until the pasta is al dente.
Add Mozzarella slices on top and allow to warm and melt about 15 minutes.

Serve.
