How To Make Baked Penne Pasta | Pasta Baked | Eya’s Kitchen Recipe

Boil 3 liters of water in a pot and add 1 tablespoon of salt.

Add penne pasta to the boiling salted water and boil for 8 minutes for a firm texture, stirring occasionally. Cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes for a more tender pasta if desired.

In an empty pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil until hot.

Add minced beef and onion to the pan and cook for about 2 minutes.

After 2 minutes, add minced garlic and sauté the mixture for about 2 to 3 minutes.

Add 1 tablespoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper to taste, mix well, and let it simmer for about 5 to 7 minutes.

After 7 minutes, add varila bolognese sauce to the pan and mix well to combine. Let it simmer for about 5 to 7 minutes.

Add chopped fresh basil leaves to the sauce and turn off the heat, mixing it in without cooking the basil.

Check the pasta for readiness; it should be firm after boiling for 8 minutes. Drain the pasta well.

Combine the drained pasta with the pasta sauce in the pan, mixing well.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (about 176 degrees Celsius).

Transfer half of the pasta mixture into a baking tray, then add half of the shredded mozzarella cheese and half of the parmesan cheese. Spread the rest of the pasta on top and add the remaining cheese on top of it.

Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, placing it at the center of the oven.
