Ingredienser
  

  • 8 ounces small pasta, such as rotini
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella, divided
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce, divided
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Heat the oven to 375°F. Grease 8 cups of a standard muffin tin.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup of the mozzarella, 1/4 cup of the pizza sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Mix gently until combined.
  • Divide the mixture among the 8 prepared muffin cups. Press it in lightly, leaving the tops slightly rounded.
  • Spoon the remaining 1/4 cup pizza sauce over the muffins. Bake until cooked through, about 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella over the tops and bake for 2 to 3 minutes more, until melted.
  • While the muffins bake, cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain it, then toss with a spoonful of pizza sauce from the ingredient amount already used for the muffins, if any remains on the plate. Serve the pasta alongside the meatloaf muffins.

For softer muffins, mix the beef gently and avoid packing it firmly into the tin. If you want the pasta more saucy, reserve a little pizza sauce from the measured amount before spooning sauce over the muffins, then toss it with the drained pasta.
