Baked Ziti



BAKED ZITI

1 pound dry Ziti pasta (or Rigatoni)
1/2 onion chopped
1 pound lean ground beef
2 (26 oz) jars of spaghetti sauce

6 oz provolone cheese, sliced
1 cup sour cream
4-6 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:
1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add ziti pasta, and cook until al dente.

2. In a large skillet, brown onion and ground beef over medium heat. Add spaghetti sauce and simmer 15 minutes. I usually sprinkle in some Italian seasoning, oregano and garlic salt too.

3. Preheat over to 350 degrees. Butter (or spray) a 9 X 13 inch baking dish. Layer as follows: 1/2 of the ziti, Provolone cheese, sour cream, 1/2 sauce mixture, remaining ziti, mozzarella cheese and remaining sauce mixture. Top with grated cheese.

4. Bake for 35 minutes or until cheese melts.

This makes a super full 9X13 pan full. I usually don't use all the ziti that it calls for.
