Baked Ziti
Life has been so busy that I havent gotten around to blogging. I have to be honest, I havent been eating too much from my freezer (bad!)
I was really excited to try this recipe. I was really disappointed with the results but my husband said he really enjoyed the dish. So I decided to blog to see what other people might think of it :)
Ingredients
1 pound dry ziti pasta
1 onion, chopped
1 pound lean ground beef (season with pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and minced garlic)
2 (26 ounce) jars spaghetti sauce (I added a zucchini to my sauce just for more veggies!)
8 slices provolone cheese
6 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
To Prepare for Freezing
Cook pasta until al dente, about 7-8 minutes; drain and set aside. In a large skillet, brown onion and ground beef over medium heat. Add spaghetti sauce, and simmer 15 minutes.
Layer the pan as follows: 1/4 of the ziti, 1/4 of the sauce, 4 slices of Provolone cheese, 1/4 of ziti, 1/4 mozzarella cheese and 1/4 of sauce mixture. Top with grated Parmesan cheese and remaining mozzarella cheese.
Cooking Directions from Freezer
Defrost in fridge. Preheat over to 350. Bake covered for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cheeses are melted.
