Baked Ziti

I love any kind of baked pasta, and this is my own take on an Italian classic.  

Baked Ziti


Ingredients:
  • Ziti pasta cooked
  • Ground Beef
  • Spaghetti Sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
  • slices of provolone or mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1tbs of Italian seasoning




Cook ground beef.


Let beef and spaghetti sauce simmer together until it thickens.


Mix ricotta cheese, Italian seasoning, parm cheese, and 1 cup of the mozzarella.


Pour some of the sauce mixture in the bottom of your caserole dish.


Layer half of the pasta on top of the sauce.


Layer the sliced cheese.


Layer half of the ricotta mixture.


Keep layering, ending with sauce until dish is full


Topp with the rest of the mozzarella cheese.



Bake at 350 for 40 mins.


Serve with a caesar salad and some garlic bread.
