Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

    While the pasta is cooking, chop the bell pepper and onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Brown the Meats

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and Italian sausage. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  2. 4

    Sauté Vegetables

    Add the chopped bell pepper, onion, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.

  3. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Stir in the marinara sauce, cooked pasta, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is well-coated and heated through, about 3-5 minutes.

Final Touches

  1. 6

    Add Cheese and Bake

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and top with shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  2. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and serve hot.
