Ingredients
- 1 jar (24 oz.) Classico® Tomato and Basil Pasta Sauce
- 1 lb. Penne pasta
- 1 1/2 lb. ground pork
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 3/4 lb. cremini mushrooms, quartered
- 7 cloves garlic or 4 tsp, coarsely chopped
- 5 scallions, white and green parts separated and thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp crushed red pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
Instructions
- In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the pasta until al dente. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, and transfer to a large serving bowl.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 Tbsp olive oil over high heat. Add the pork, red pepper, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, garlic, and scallion whites and cook, stirring until softened, for 3 minutes. Lower the heat to medium, add Classico Tomato & Basil Pasta Sauce and reserved pasta water and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Pour sauce over the pasta; add the parsley, scallion greens and cheese and toss. Pass extra parmesan at the table.
