Recipe - Ragu Casserole With Garlic Sauce

One half pound Dried pasta; a fluffy shape,
like corkscrews
2 cup White sauce; (recipe
follows)
4 cup Thick tomato sauce
1/3 cup Bread crumbs
Grated parmesan cheese

WHITE SAUCE
4 tablespoon Butter
4 tablespoon Flour
3 Cloves garlic; peeled and
crushed
2 cup Milk
Salt and pepper

The white sauce is a pretty quick fix. This can be assembled like a
lasagna, but I like to get it into the oven with a bit less fuss. Serve
with a big green salad. Serves 4 or 5.

(cheeses are optional)**

1.Make the white sauce while cooking off the pasta.

2.White sauce: Melt the butter and stir in the flour. Add the garlic and
stir until the garlic begins to brown.

3.Gradually whisk in the milk, making sure it is always smooth. Stir in
salt and pepper to taste and gently simmer for about 5 minutes. Fish out
the garlic, mash it, and stir it back in.

4.Drain the pasta and toss with the ragu. Put it in a baking dish. Pour the
white sauce over the top and sprinkle with bread crumbs. Bake until brown
and bubbly. Serve with parmesan cheese.
