Pasta Bake

This dish is the first thing I ever cooked. My Mom got the recipe from a co-worker and tried it. It was delish, and she knew it would be a good thing for me to make on my own, so she passed the recipe along. It's another one of those meals that I've tweaked to make it my own over the years. Enjoy!

Serves 6

INGREDIENTS:
1 lb. ground meat (I use turkey for the healthy factor, but beef is fine!)
1 package of pasta (any variety)
1 jar of store bought pasta sauce (any red variety)
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves of garlic, minced
8 oz. of fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 cups of mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 cup of white wine
Water
Seasonings to taste (I use garlic powder, salt, pepper and a little bit of red pepper flakes)

DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 375*
2. Brown meat with garlic, onion, and seasonings.
3. Mix meat, mushrooms, uncooked pasta, 1 cup of the cheese, and jar of sauce in a large casserole dish.
4. Fill the empty pasta sauce jar halfway with wine and the rest of the way with water. Pour over mixture.
5. Bake covered for 1 hours.
6. After 1 hour, pull dish from oven. Sprinkle remaining cheese over top and bake an additional 5 minutes.
