Ingredients
- 7.25 ounces uncooked spaghetti
- 1 pound ground sirloin
- 1 (8 ounce) package sliced cremini mushrooms
- 24 ounce jar lower-sodium marinara sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces pre-shredded reduced-fat Italian-blend cheese (about 2 cups)
- Basil leaves (optional)
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting fat and salt; drain.
- While pasta cooks, cook beef and mushrooms in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat 8 minutes or until beef is browned, stirring to crumble. Drain beef mixture, and return to pan. Stir in whole jar of marinara sauce and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring frequently.
- Place pasta in a 13x9-inch glass or ceramic baking dish coated with cooking spray. Spoon beef mixture over pasta mixture; sprinkle with cheese.
- Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until cheese melts and sauce is bubbly. Garnish with basil leaves, if desired.
