A favorite in my home, this hearty meal is comfort with a capitol C. A flavorful sauce combined with herbs, ground beef, and veal, cottage cheese, Veggies, and Pecorino Romano cheese combine to bake up into a filling and flavorful dish that is so versatile so as to please every palate. You can change it up with your own version, using a pesto, or Alfredo sauce, or a classic Bolognaise, or even a creamy mushroom sauce. This is our favorite version.
