mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: provolone cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat content without sacrificing flavor.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

Nutritional yeast offers a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground pork is often less expensive.

Prepare the sauce by combining the passata di pomodoro with olive oil, salt, oregano, and basil.

In a bowl, mix the ground meat with grated parmesan, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, and chopped parsley to form meatballs.

Cook the rigatoni according to package instructions until al dente.

Layer the rigatoni in a baking dish with the sauce, meatballs, mozzarella, provola piccante, and salame piccante.

Top with additional parmesan and bake until golden and bubbly.
