Pasta with Baby Salisbury Steaks
8 ounces mafalda (wide, ripple edge) pasta or spaghetti
2 slices raisin bread or cinnamon-raisin bread, torn
into small pieces
1/4 cup milk
1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups sliced zucchini and/or summer squash
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 26-ounce jar prepared tomato pasta sauce
Finely shredded Parmesan cheese (optional)
1. Preheat broiler. Lightly coat the rack of a broiler
pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside. In a large
saucepan cook pasta according to package directions.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl stir together bread and milk
and let stand for 5 minutes. Add ground beef, onion,
egg, oregano, and salt. Mix well. Place a piece of waxed
paper on a large cutting board. Pat meat mixture into a
8x6-inch rectangle on the waxed paper. Cut in half
crosswise and lengthwise to form four 4x3-inch
rectangles. Using a large spatula, transfer meat to
prepared broiler rack. Broil meat 4 to 5 inches from the
heat for 12 to 15 minutes, or until a thermometer
inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers
160 degree F and until no longer pink inside. Cut each
rectangle diagonally forming a total of 8 steaks. Drain
pasta; set aside. In the same pan cook the zucchini in
hot oil for 2 to 3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Stir
in pasta sauce and pasta; heat through. Serve steaks
with pasta mixture. Sprinkle each serving with cheese.
Makes 4 servings.
