MACARONI ROMA

8 oz. elbow macaroni
1 medium onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 lb. ground beef
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp.sugar
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. basil
1 1/2 tsp. chili powder
Dash of pepper
2 - 14.5 oz. cans tomatoes (I like the italian stewed)
6 oz. can tomato paste
16 oz. cottage cheese
1/2 lb. cheese, shredded (I use mozerella)
2 Tbsp. butter, melted
1/2 c. dry bread crumbs
1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese


Cook macaroni; drain. Rinse with cold water and drain well. Brown the meat and add garlic and onion. (I drain the fat off the meat) Cook until onions are transparent but not brown. Add seasonings, tomatoes, tomato paste. Simmer slowly 1-1/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.

Combine cottage cheese and macaroni. Pour a little sauce in buttered 21/2 quart casserole. Top with 1/3 of macaroni mixture, 1/2 of shredded cheese. Repeat, using last 1/3 of sauce on top. Combine melted margarine, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese; sprinkle over top. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 1 hour. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

The Macaroni Roma was delicious; it reminded me of baked ziti! I used Penne Pasta.
