Rotini Casserole

This is a great recipe for nights when you only want to spend a few minutes in the kitchen, with minimal clean up.

Ingredients:

2 cups rotini pasta
1 pound lean ground beef
1 14.5-ounce can crushed tomatoes
1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon sugar
2/3 cup shredded, reduced-fat cheddar cheese

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain.
In a large nonstick skillet, cook ground beef until beginning to brown, about 8-9 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Add remaining ingredients except cheese and pasta and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 6-7 minutes or until beginning to thicken. Fold in cheese and toss with pasta. Enjoy!
