Baked Rigatoni With Bolognese Meat Sauce

Why do soldiers first experience boot camp? Because they need to be taught how to push their body, overcome the desire to quit and grow beyond the pain. The mind way too often gives in before the body gives out. Likewise, why did the Apostle Paul say, “I discipline my body and make it my slave” (1 Cor. 9:27). The Christian life is not about listening to our bodies and giving into its desires (gluttony, drunkenness, slothfulness, sexual immorality), but rather mastering our bodies and making the body a slave to a biblically controlled mind. This is the difference between being controlled by the flesh or being led by the Spirit (Gal. 5). Exercise, in order to be effective, pushes the body beyond its comfort zone. Diets push the body beyond its comfort zone. These make the body your slave and no longer your master. These produce discipline. And coming full circle, discipline is essential for us to mortify sin (cf. 1 Pet. 4:1-2).

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 400 F. Cook the rigatoni in abundant, boiling salted
water. Drain when exceptionally firm, a shade less cooked than al
dente because it will undergo additional cooking in the oven.  Transfer
to a mixing bowl. Add the meat sauce, bchamel, and 4 Tbsp.  grated
Parmesan to the pasta. Toss thoroughly to coat the pasta well  and
distribute the sauces uniformly. Lightly smear the baking dish  with
butter. Put in the entire contents of the bowl, leveling it with  a
spatula. Top with 2 Tbsp. grated Parmesan and dot with butter. Put  the
dish on the uppermost rack of the preheated oven and bake for 10
minutes, until a little bit of a crust forms on top. After taking it
out of the oven, allow the rigatoni to settle for a few minutes  before
bringing to the table.  Copyright credit: 1992 by Marcella Hazan Â©
