Ingredients
- 1/2 pound dried ziti
- 15 or 16 ounces ricotta cheese (part skim)
- 3 cups (or 12 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 cups (or a 26-ounce jar) spaghetti sauce
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
- For meat lovers - add ground turkey and italian sausage
Preparation
Step 1
Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and add the ziti. Cook until tender, about 8 minutes, drain the pasta.
If using meat - brown meat with onion (1/2 onion for each pound of meat). Add desired spices. Mix the meat with the spaghetti sauce.
Place the ziti in a large bowl. Mix with the ricotta and half of the mozzarella. Grease a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish. Spread half of the spaghetti sauce on the bottom of the pan. Add the ziti mixture and cover with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan and the remaining mozzarella.
Bake uncovered, for 20 to 30 minutes, until the casserole bubbles on the edges.
