My husband found this recipe and modified it and it is a big favorite at home and an easy dish to make for work pot luck meals - big raves! We have substituted chicken or sausage for the ground beef - all three are really good! Ingredients:
1 (16 ounce) package ziti pasta |
1 lb ground beef |
2 (28 ounce) jars spaghetti sauce |
6 ounces provolone cheese (sliced) |
6 ounces mozzarella cheese (sliced) |
12 ounces part-skim ricotta cheese |
1/2 cup parmesan cheese |
1/4 cup fresh basil |
Directions:
1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain. 2. In a large skillet, brown beef over medium heat. Add onions; saute until tender. Drain off fat and add spaghetti sauce; simmer for about 15 minutes. 3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). 4. In a lightly greased 2 quart baking dish, place about half of the pasta; top with a layer of provolone and mozzarella cheese slices. Spread on a layer of half the spaghetti sauce mixture and ricotta cheese. 5. Cover with remaining pasta, cheese and sauce; sprinkle a layer of parmesan cheese and fresh basil. 6. Bake in preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until cheese and sauce are bubbly; serve. |
