Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 180°C.
  2. Prepare tomato sauce in a saucepan: Bring the tomatoes, tomato sauce, 1 cup water, onion, bell pepper, garlic, parsley, Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, garlic powder, salt and pepper, sugar, and bay leaves to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer over low heat, covered, for 1 hour.

  3. Prepare the minced meat: Place the ground meat in the pan and cook over medium heat, breaking it up with a wooden spatula, until done. Transfer the ground meat to the saucepan and continue simmering for another 20 minutes.

  5. Spread one-third of the sauce in a baking dish. Top with half the capellini, then 1/3 each of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese. Continue layering in the same order, finishing with a final layer of sauce.

    Place in the oven and bake for 35 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese 5 minutes before done.
