Very vaguely associated with Greek Pastichio....definitely Americanized and speedy cooking techniques. Get me to the table quick is the name of the game in this house...a little something different from our usual baked ziti.
1 package of fat rotini noodles, boiled al dente and drained
1 lb. package of lean ground lamb
1 fat yellow onion chopped
handful of frozen chopped peppers (from a stirfry mix)
3 fat garlic cloves minced
1 cup of parmesan grated
1/2 cup of grated mozzarella
1/2 cup of cottage cheese
2 beaten eggs, using one at a time in recipe
1 tsp of ground pepper
1/2 tsp of salt
1 tsp of dill weed
1/2 tsp of dried rosemary
pinch of cinnamon
1/2 jar of light alfredo sauce
1/4 cup of milk
1/2 cup (generous) crumbled feta
browning in the pan
Brown lamb, breaking up chunks.
Brown onions, peppers, garlic and seasonings with lamb. Allow to cool
Mix noodles with mozzarella, cottage cheese, 1/3 cup of parmesan and one beaten egg.
Spread into a glass baking dish sprayed with non stick spray.
Top with meat mixture evenly.
Add milk, remaining parmesan cheese to jarred Alfredo Sauce with one more beaten egg.
Pour over meat and noodles.
Put in 350 degree oven and bake for 20 minutes.
Pull out of oven, remember you forgot the feta cheese.
Sprinkle casserole with feta and run under the broiler for 2 minutes.
Serve with Pita Panzanella. Pat yourself on the back for not calling out for take-out. Take a picture for your friends.
