Easy Baked Ziti- the name says it all!
Easy Baked Ziti
1 (1 lb.) box ziti pasta (penne or rigatoni may be substituted)
1 lb. ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 (24 oz.) jars pasta sauce
1 (16 oz.) jar Alfredo sauce*
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 baker with cooking spray. Prepare pasta according to directions. Meanwhile, brown ground beef and onion in a large skillet. Drain, return to skillet, and stir in one jar of pasta sauce. Keep mixture warm until pasta is done.
When pasta is finished, drain thoroughly. You want the pasta to be as dry as possible. Return pasta to its pot (with heat off) and pour in the jar of Alfredo sauce. Combine until thoroughly coated and pour into the bottom of the 9x13. Cover pasta with ground beef/pasta sauce mixture. Top with mozzarella cheese, cover with foil, and bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted and edges are bubbly.
Let rest for 5 minutes after taking from oven. While ziti is resting, heat the other jar of pasta sauce to serve on top of individual servings of ziti.
*I highly recommend Ragu Roasted Garlic Parmesan Cheese Creations Sauce.
