Dead Man Over Worms Meatloaf Over Spaghetti Noodles Recipes

SPAGHETTI WORM CUPS WITH BOLOGNESE

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Drain.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 10 minutes.
• Add the ground beef and ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook, breaking the meat into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 10 minutes. Add the crushed and diced tomatoes and their juices and the basil. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced, about 15 minutes. Stir in the cheese just before serving.
• Divide the pasta among small cups and spoon the sauce over the top. Sprinkle with more cheese.

SAUSAGE WORMS

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage pieces in a single layer and cook, tossing occasionally, until lightly browned and beginning to curl, about 5 minutes.
• Stir the vinegar and brown sugar in a small bowl. Add to the skillet along with the remaining 1 teaspoon butter. Cook, stirring, until the brown sugar caramelizes on the sausages and the vinegar and butter create a light glaze, 2 to 3 more minutes.

LAZY MAN'S (OR LAZY MOM'S LASAGNA)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Brown the beef with the optional onion, optional garlic, herbs, and salt and pepper in a large, ovenproof skillet (I use one that's made of castiron). When the meat is thoroughly cooked -- it will take 8 to 10 minutes -- drain off any fat and take everything out of the pan. Now put the still-frozen ravioli into the pan, breaking them up if they are clumped. Spread the ground beef mixture evenly over the ravioli, and ladle the spaghetti sauce evenly over the ground beef mixture. Over medium heat, without stirring, cook until the ravioli is heated through and beginning to brown on the bottom -- about 10 minutes.
• Take the skillet off the heat, lay the provolone slices over the ground beef mixture, and sprinkle the whole thing with the Parmesan. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Serve hot.
