Manly Marzetti Recipes

MANLY MARZETTI

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Place the farfalle (aka bow ties) into the pot, cook 8 to 10 minutes, until al dente, and drain.
• Peel Italian sausage and simmer in 24 ounces of beer for 10 minutes or until cooked through. Drain. Slice into 1/8" slices.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Lightly grease 11 x 7 x 2-inch baking dish (or 8x8-inch pan) and set aside.
• Heat olive oil in a very large heavy skillet over moderate heat 1 minute.
• Add onion and garlic. Stir-fry until limp, about 3 minutes.
• Add mushrooms and stir-fry until juices are released and evaporate, about 5 minutes.
• Add beef and cook and stir, breaking up clumps, until no longer red, about 5 minutes.
• I usually drain the beef mixture in a fine mesh colander due to the volume of high water content onions and mushrooms.
• Off heat, mix in tomato sauce, Italian sausage slices and all but 1 cup cheese.
• Transfer to baking dish, add bow ties, and toss gently but thoroughly to mix.
• Scatter remaining 1 cup cheese on top. (Add grated parmesan cheese if more is needed.).
• Bake, uncovered, until browned and bubbling, 35-40 minutes, and serve.
