Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Prepare tomato sauce (see below)
- Toss cooked ziti pasta with the tomato sauce, cubed mozzarella, half the Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and
- Pepper flakes.
- Transfer the pasta to an oiled 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Cover the top of pasta with with the sliced mozzarella,
- And sprinkle with remaining Parmesan. Bake until lightly browned and hot, about 30 minutes. Serve immediately.
- Tomato Sauce preparation:
- Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook the sausage until beginning to brown, about 3
- Minutes.
- Add the onion and garlic to saucepan. Stir until lightly browned, about 3 minutes more.
- Add tomatoes and herb sprigs, bringing entire mixture to a boil.
- Lower the heat and simmer covered for 10 minutes. Stir in salt and pepper to taste.
- Use now (see above) or store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
- Cook's Notes
- If you like your food a bit spicier, go with the spicy Italian sausage. I always do! If you can't find tomatoes in puree,
- Use a can of tomatoes (drained) with a separate can of puree. Sometimes its better to add a bit more puree than
- The recipe calls for, otherwise its a bit dry. Enjoy!
