Baked Pasta

• 1/2 pound ground beef
• 1/4 onion, diced
• 1 pound thick pasta noodles (mostacchioli, rotini, elbows, etc.)
• 1 jar of your favorite pasta sauce
• 1/2 package frozen, thawed spinach, or 2 cups fresh spinach
• 2 tablespoons sour cream (optional)
• 1/2 cup water
• 8 oz. shredded Mozzarella cheese
• 4 oz. Parmesan cheese

Boil pasta until al dente. Meanwhile, brown ground beef with onion. Drain fat. In a 9 x 13″ dish, pour one half of tomato sauce. Top with noodles, and stir in beef, spinach, sour cream and cheese. Top with remaining sauce, and gently stir in water. Top with Parmesan cheese, and bake at 350 degrees F for 35 minutes or until bubbly. If desired, you can substitute broccoli for the spinach, and add mushrooms, and/or other vegetables of your choice.
