This recipe was on my favorite PBS cooking show, America’s Test Kitchen. I am getting ready to try it. I will let you know how it goes.
Serves 4 to 6
Meatloaf mix is a combination of ground beef, pork, and veal, sold pre-packaged in many supermarkets. If it’s unavailable, use ground beef. Use a 12-inch nonstick skillet with a tight-fitting lid for this recipe.

Would you believe I was actually watching America’s Test Kitchen today, but that I just turned it on during the parmesan cheese testing. Was this during today’s episode? Sounds good…I might have to try it!

Thanks for the recipe. Can’t seem to get any recipes off of the America’s Test Kitchen site. What’s up with that? I couldn’t wait to try this, now I can. You wouldn’t have the recipe for orange chicken that they made a couple weeks ago, would you? thanks.

Meatloaf mix is a combination of ground beef, pork, and veal, sold pre-packaged in many supermarkets. If it’s unavailable, use ground beef. Use a 12-inch nonstick skillet with a tight-fitting lid for this recipe.
- Pour tomatoes with their juices into 1-quart liquid measuring cup. Add water until mixture measures 1 quart.
- Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until onion begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add ground meat and cook, breaking apart meat, until no longer pink, about 4 minutes.
- Scatter pasta over meat but do not stir. Pour diced tomatoes with juices and tomato sauce over pasta. Cover and bring to simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender, about 20 minutes.
- Remove skillet from heat and stir in 1/2 cup Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper. Dot with heaping tablespoons ricotta, cover, and let stand off heat for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with basil and remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Serve.
