no need for a title

I made baked macaroni last night. I used a whole pack of mozzarella cheese and half of parmesan for the topping, and the other half was mixed in with the sauce. It was deliciously cheesy. I loved it! I like how it’s like eating mozarella sticks at the same time. HAHA!!

Here’s what I did:

  1. Cooked, drained and placed the pasta in a round casserole while I prepare the sauce.
  2. Heat about a teaspoon of olive oil in a deep pan and add in diced onions.
  3. I added ground beef and cooked it until brown.
  4. Next is the pasta sauce. I used a mix of Safeway’s tomato sauce (they’re a bit tangy) and the Pinoy style sauce (sweet style).
  5. I was going to add sugar and pepper to taste but I thought the sauce was fine as is. I also skipped on bell peppers (it’s what gives the sauce that nice aroma) because Safeway’s sauce has it mixed in.
  6. I added sliced mushrooms and then parmesan cheese to make it thicker and cheesier (of course).
  7. Before pouring the sauce over my pasta, I tossed it with parmesan cheese… just because. It feels fancier that way. Hehe!
  8. Poured the sauce over the pasta and blended in. I didn’t want any lonely naked pasta in there, hehe.
  9. Covered it with a very generous amount of mozzarella cheese mixed with parmesan. I love cheesy toppings!!
  10. Baked it for about 20 minutes I think. Oven set to 350°? I forget. Haha, what’s important is to have the cheese melt properly.

NYUMNYUM!
I’m so proud of myself. =)

I really need to fix my messed up schedule and eating habits and fatten up. I lost weight which is not good.
