Baked Pasta

Brown 1-1.5 lb ground beef, turkey, or Italian sausage.
Slice and sear 5 green bell peppers.

In a large (about 7 Qt) Dutch oven place:
Olive oil 

1-1.5 lb of uncooked pasta (I like rotini)

4 x 24 oz jars of pasta sauce
2 x 14.5 oz cans diced fire-roasted tomatoes
1 quart of heavy cream

2-2.5 lb shredded mozzarella


Make the sauce by mixing the tomatoes, pasta sauce, and cream.

Oil the inside of the Duch oven.

I like to layer the ingredients with 1/3 the peppers, 1/3 the pasta, 1/3 the meat, 1/3 the sauce, 1/3 the cheese and repeating the layers twice more.  Making sure the top layer is cheese.  Also, make sure to leave an inch at the top of the Duch oven so that it does not overflow.
 

Cover the Dutch oven and place in the oven at 350 °F until the mixture is really bubbling thought out, likely about 2+ hours.  Then uncover and bake until the cheese on top is golden brown.

Yields 8-12 servings.
