Oven-Baked Pasta With Bolognese

We all love a relaxed evening where dinner is ready in under 30 minutes with minimal effort required. which is where this oven-baked pasta with bolognese comes in. If you have your own stash of Bolognese sauce in the freezer, then this is a good time to whip it out and stir it with pasta, some creamy mozzarella, Parmigiano Reggiano or parmesan, and an optional sprinkle of grated ricotta.

You can make this pasta bake a few hours ahead and reheat it when needed. And of course, the other upside is that you can pack it for lunch. Though I will be honest enough to say that I am not a fan of packing hot pasta meals for packed lunch. I would recommend you have this straight off the oven.

Oven-Baked Pasta With Bolognese Ingredients

Pasta: I used tortiglioni for this recipe because it’s suitable for holding heavy sauce. However, you can also use penne or other cylindrical-shaped pasta.

Bolognese: The recipe takes 22 minutes to make because I used an already-made bolognese sauce.

Cheese: While I used Parmigiano Reggiano for this recipe, alternative substitutes are parmesan or Grana Padano. If you do not have the dry ricotta, you can skip it altogether.
