Just made this today! This is a delicious recipe--that I tweeked a bit--for Baked Ziti. I was surprised it turned out so good -- I'll definitely be making this again!
Ingredients (Yields about 8-10 servings)
1 pound Ziti pasta
1 pound ground beef
26 oz jar of spaghetti sauce -- I used Prego Italian Sauce: Traditional
6 oz Mozzarella Cheese, Shredded
4 oz Parmesan Cheese, Shredded/Grated
4 oz (or about 6 slices) Provolone Cheese, Sliced
Directions
1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add Ziti pasta and cook for about 8 minutes. Drain.
2. In a large skillet, brown ground beef over medium heat, add sauce, and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
3. In a small bowl, combine Mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Apply cooking spray to a 9x13 baking dish. Layer the pasta, sauce and cheeses as follows (or desired): Half of Ziti, Sauce, Mozzarella/Parmesan cheese mixture, Remaining Ziti. Top with sliced Provolone cheese.
5. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 5 minutes, or until cheeses have melted.
ENJOY!
(Optional: If you like extra sauce, add an extra 26 oz jar of sauce to your sauce/meat mixture. Layer half the mixture after the first layer of Ziti and the second half after the layer of Mozzarella/Parmesan cheese.)
