Instructions to make Baked Fettuccine with Meat Sauce and Tons-O-Mozzarella:
  1. Heat the olive in a large fry pan. Add your ground meat, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, dried basil, salt and pepper. Brown meat and set aside.
  2. In a large sauce pan, heat marinara sauce, butter and cream on low heat. Add cooked meat and simmer on low for about 10 mins or so. Ooooooh, that’s niiiiiiicccee……
  3. Wait, you need a refill 🍷🍷🍷. And to preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  4. Cook pasta until just underdone. Drain and add to your meat sauce. Now toss and then sip 🍷
  5. Put about half of the sauced pasta into your baking dish (for ribbon pasta, kitchen tongs really help). Top with 1 cup of the fresh mozzarella. Then add remaining sauced pasta and top with shredded mozzarella. Now top with remaining fresh mozzarella. Take a pic and celebrate - yeah, baby!!! Dinner is in work!!
  6. Bake for about 30-45 mins. If the cheese is getting brown too quickly, remove from oven, loosely tent with foil and return to the oven.
  7. Once it’s ready (melted, browned cheese and everything is thoroughly heated through), remove from oven and let cool for about 10 mins (unless you’re into burning all of the skin off of the roof of your mouth).
  8. Now, refill (🍷) and enjoy!!
