Barilla Collezione Casarecce Pasta with Meat Sauce Recipe 
 

Ingredients:

1 box Barilla Collezione Casarecce Pasta
1 jar of Barilla Meat Sauce
1/2 lbs. Ground beef
Parmesan Cheese- toppings
Pink Peppercorn- optional
Salt and Pepper- to taste


Directions:
1.) Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. 9-10 minutes is perfect for "Al Dente" where the pasta is cooked through but not mushy. Just perfect!
2.) In separate pan, brown the ground beef until it cooked through. Add the pink peppercorn if you like ( this is optional). Drain excess oil and put it back on the pan. Add the barilla sauce about 3/4 of the jar depend on how much sauce you want for your pasta. Add more if you need to:)
3.) Simmer the sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste! Set aside.
4.) Drain the cooked pasta and set aside.
5.) - At this point you can totally mixed the pasta and the sauce together OR you can put the sauce on the top of the pasta. Add the parmesan cheese on top! Enjoy!!

( I mixed the sauce and the pasta together! Yum!!!:) 
I really love this recipe, super easy, fast to make and perfect for family pasta night. The Barilla Collezione Casarecce pasta is so perfect for capturing every drop of sauce. My family loved it and so do I, Perfect pair with garlic bread and a slice of sweet dessert or a cookie.

    Hay..nice and yummy nga sis! I don't need to taste kasi first, imposible...ang layo natin sa isa-isa, hhehhe...secondly, sa photos pa lang, I'm drooling na..Parang naalala ko yung college comfort food namin "calzone", sounds the same eh, although I don't know if I got the spelling right. Anyway, keep on sharing. Gusto ko din itry ang buko pie mo. It's my husband's fave.

    I have seen that brand around here but the choices of types of pasta is quite limited. Good to read that you get to try so many different types of theirs to make your food.
