I found this recipe several years ago in Southern Living magazine and it is wonderful! My Mom really loves this so I always have to make it for her on special occasions. This really makes a HUGE amount...but the ingredients could easily be cut in half. Better yet, one dish could be frozen for later use. Enjoy!

Categories     Beef

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 jar(s) prepared pizza sauce, 14 oz each
1 jar(s) (small jar) spaghetti sauce, 24 oz.
1 lb hamburger and/or sausage, browned and drained
sliced pepperoni, 1/2 of a 6 oz package
2 c penne noodles, cooked
2 can(s) (small cans) chopped mushrooms, 4 oz each
2 1/2 c mozzarella cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • 1. Combine all ingredients.
  • 2. Put into large baking pan and top with cheese.
  • 3. Bake in 450-degree oven until cheese is melted and slightly browned.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and cheese will give your cavatini the best flavor.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente pasta is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it. This will help it hold its shape and texture in the sauce.
  • Make a flavorful sauce: The sauce is the star of the show in cavatini. Use a combination of fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices to create a sauce that is both flavorful and delicious.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the cavatini, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the pasta from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick together.
  • Serve immediately: Cavatini is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the pasta is hot and the sauce is flavorful.

Conclusion:

Cavatini is a delicious and versatile pasta dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its variety of flavors and textures, cavatini is a dish that is sure to please everyone. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy meal or a special occasion dish, cavatini is a great choice.
