Ingredients
- 1 (8 ounce) package farfalle (bow tie) pasta
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, chopped (Optional)
- 1 (28 ounce) jar pasta sauce
- 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water, bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in the bow tie pasta and return to a boil. Boil pasta, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain well.
- Cook and stir ground beef and onion in a large skillet until beef is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Drain fat. Stir in pasta sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer.
- Stir cooked pasta and half of the mozzarella cheese into the sauce; toss to combine. Transfer to a 2-quart baking dish. Top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes.

Reviews
I’ve been making this every year around Halloween. My kids love it!
Everyone in the family loved this. Very easy to make. Followed recipes exactly.
This was quite tasty. My family disagreed with another review here and that this did not taste like hamburger helper. I used Kirkland marinara sauce and added sage, oregano, and garlic. My husband like the cheese and how it didn’t melt in and disappear. Will definitely make this again.
This was a huge hit with my family! I used twisty pasta & it worked great, all other ingredients the same. It is a great alternative to lasagna, which no one in my fam but myself like, this is a perfect compromise!
My kids & hubby adore this recipe! I make it whenever I can! Followed it exactly (as I have little imagination in the kitchen). lol
This is awesome! The whole family keeps asking for it.
This was so delicious. I added mushrooms, green peppers and garlic to the recipe and used beyond meat since I’m vegetarian. All the meat eaters were satisfied too!
I more or less doubled the recipe. I have 2 teen boys at home and they devoured the entire tray!
Turned out really well! Easy to make and delicious!
So yummy and cheesy. My boyfriend said it was the best pasta dish he’s ever had that I’ve made.
Yes, I would make it again. Super easy and delicious.
Love it! Fast, easy, delicious. The kids claw their eyes out for more! The adults can’t wait to make it for their boys and ghouls. It’s perfect for a fun children’s party. At night clubs, it appears terrifyingly scrumptious. EVERY YEAR MUST!!!
Added chopped chicken sausage and veggies, pasta sauce and Italian spices…..very yummy
I made the Farfalle black with food coloring so it was even “creepier”. I think I should have baked it a little longer to get the cheese more stringy.
Yummy!! I used shredded mozzarella cheese and it was supposed to be cubed (I was buying ingredients from memory …. oops). It was still super yummy. When I make it again with the cubes, making it a lot stringier, I would give it 5 stars!!
Yes will definitely make it again as itwas made for a department luncheon for Halloween, I got some black food dye and as I was boiling the pasta I added some drops which turned the pasta black and it really looked like bats
No changes…I made it for my grandkids in Massachusetss last year and they all three loved it! I just made plans to go back there again this year and my 9 year old grandson Luke said “oh good, we can have Bats and Cobwebs!” It’s a hit!
This recipe is great for adults at any time of the year. I have made it around three times now, and since we have a rare cool August night, it is baking in the oven now. I made a fresh tomato sauce using lots of basil, and used sauteed red peppers instead of meat. Delicious and fun!
Definitely a do over. Quick, easy and delicious
I used penne, that’s what I had on hand. It turned out delicious. Quick and easy. Like lasagna only easier and not so messy to make. It was a hit with my husband who is not a huge lasagna lover.
It was really tasty! I made a homemade sauce instead of store bought and my family was very happy with this meal!
