Baked Ziti Recipe

Ingredients

1. 1 pound ziti (can sub penne) pasta
2. Olive oil
3. 1 pound bulk Italian sausage or ground beef or pork
4. 1 large onion, chopped
5. 3-4 garlic cloves, chopped
6. 1 Tbsp fresh rosemary (or basil), minced
7. 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
8. 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
9. 1 large jar of marinara sauce (about 32 ounces)
10. 1/2 pound of mozzarella cheese, grated
11. 1 heaping cup of ricotta cheese
12. 1 cup grated parmesan or pecorino cheese

Method

• 1 Heat a large pot of water (2 quarts of water) to a strong boil. Add a tablespoon of salt. Add the pasta and cook at a rolling boil, uncovered, until the pasta is al dente—edible but still a little firm to the bite. Drain the pasta through a colander. Toss with a little olive oil so the pasta does not stick together while you make the sauce.
• 2 While the water is heating in the previous step, start on the sauce. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large sauté pan on medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering hot, add the bulk sausage or ground meat. Break up any large chunks of sausage as it cooks. Brown well. Don't stir that often or it will be more difficult for the meat to brown. If you are using ground beef or pork instead of sausage, sprinkle with a little salt.
