Baked Ziti

bakedziti2

I forgot how the conversation at the dinner table went tonight. I think it was something like:
  • WOW
  • I really like this!
  • This may be better than lasagna.
  • I really like this!
  • I was scared.
  • I really like this!

And, it was good! I used a little more mozzarella than the recipe called for (ummm....I used the whole bag which was double of what the recipe said). But, I don't think that is what pushed it over the edge. It would of been wonderful even without all that yummy mozzarella.

This is what you will need to gather:

And this is the recipe. Pretty simple, but simply good.


Baked Ziti
1 pound dry ziti pasta or rigatoni
1 onion, chopped
1 pound lean ground beef
2 (26 ounce) jars spaghetti sauce
6 ounces provolone cheese, sliced
1 1/2 cups sour cream
6 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Directions
1.) Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
Add ziti pasta, and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes; drain.
2.) In a large skillet, brown onion and ground beef over
medium heat. Add spaghetti sauce, and simmer 15 minutes.
3.) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer as follows:

  • 1/2 of the ziti
  • all the Provolone cheese
  • sour cream
  • 1/2 sauce mixture
  • remaining ziti
  • all the mozzarella cheese
  • remaining sauce mixture
  • top with grated Parmesan cheese

4.) Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cheeses are melted

Set this on the table with a loaf of fresh homemade bread and enjoy!
