Here is another great RR recipe. This is also delicious with ground sausage or ground sirloin. I substituted regular shredded mozzerella instead of the fresh mozerella that RR used because I don't care for the flavor of fresh mozzerella. Ingredients:
1 lb ziti pasta |
1 medium onion, diced |
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
4 garlic cloves, minced |
28 ounces plum tomatoes |
4 -5 basil leaves, torn |
3 tablespoons butter |
3 tablespoons flour |
2 cups milk |
1 bay leaf |
2 cups mozzarella cheese |
1/4 cup parmesan cheese |
fresh nutmeg |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Boil ziti just shy of al dente.
3. Place a medium sauce pan on medium-high head and add EVOO.
4. Cook onion and garlic 4-5 minutes, then add the tomatoes. Smash the tomatoes with the back of a large spoon, then add basil, salt and pepper and simmer 15 minutes.
5. Heat a separate medium sauce pan on medium-high heat then add, butter and alllow to melt.
6. Add flour and brown 2-4 minutes, then stir in bay leaf, salt and pepper and cook 5 minutes on low heat. Remove bay leaf.
7. Mix red sauce with pasta and transfer to a casserole dish.
8. Top with white sauce, and both cheeses.
9. Bake 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees.
