Re: baked zitti

I asked my friend for this the other day...she said she doesn't do recipes.

Layer pasta (I recently used the squiggly kind the other week...cavatappi I think it was), sauce, browned and seasoned meat, ricotta cheese, grated mozzarella.

Re: baked zitti

i second the no recipes! i refuse to follow directions..

boil a box of pasta, brown up some meat, mix some shredded mozz in wtih a container of ricotta and put it all in a casserole dish - i recommend 2 jars of sauce.

Bake at 350 for about 30 min covered in tinfoil, then 10 more minutes without the tinfoil.... give or take. luckily this is relatively fool proof.

Baked Ziti

Re: baked zitti

Baked Ziti - Serves 4

Ingredients
6 ounces dry ziti pasta
1 small onion, chopped
6 ounces lean ground beef
3/4 (26 ounce) jar marinara sauce
2-1/2 ounces provolone cheese, sliced (SOMETIMES I SKIP IT IF I DONT HAVE IT )
1/2 cup and 1 tablespoon and 2 teaspoons sour cream (DEFINATELY ADD THIS)
2-1/2 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
2-1/2 teaspoons 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 -20 minutes ( I ALSO ADD SOME CHOPPED GARLIC, FRESH BASIL LEAVES, ITALIAN SEASONING)
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, Provolone cheese, sour cream, 1/2 sauce mixture, remaining ziti, mozzarella cheese and remaining sauce mixture. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.
4.Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cheeses are melted.
