Any recipe that has four cheeses in it will undoubtedly capture my attention. This pasta dish reminded me of unlayered lasagna. The cloves in the sauce gives it a nice depth and the cheese is, well, cheesy perfection.
Elbows With Tomato Meat Sauce and Four Cheeses
Ingredients:
2 cups elbow macaroni
15 ounces ricotta cheese
1 cup tomato sauce with meat (store bought or make your own)
1 pinch ground cloves
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded (I added a little cheddar, too, to use up the bit I had on hand. So 5 cheese!)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons grated Romano cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Directions:
1. Cook elbows in boiling salted water until al dente, about 12 minutes. Drain.
2. Meanwhile, heat the ricotta in a wide saucepan over low heat; stir in the tomato meat sauce and cloves. Heat through, stirring over low heat.
3. In a large bowl, stir the elbows, warmed ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, Romano and parsley together.
