2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 log (8 ounces) fresh mozzarella cheese, or if you can find them I like to use the fresh mozzarella snacking cheese balls because they’re already shaped in exactly the right size – it’s an easy shortcut!
For the Sauce:
2 carrots, grated
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 (8 ounce) package sliced mushrooms
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 cup beef broth
1 cup marinara sauce (homemade or from a jar)
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon oregano
½ teaspoon basil
