I know we all love food and we are always talking about sharing recipes but we never really get a chance to get together and swap them! This blog was created for a fun way to share what we've been eating by posting new or favorite recipes for everyone to try :) The first recipe I am going to share is for Baked Ziti, one of my favorite things to eat! If I keep making this I might not fit in my wedding dress!
Baked Ziti
Ingredients:
1 onion, chopped--I always get whatever sweet onion they have available at the store
1 lb lean ground beef or ground italian sausage--italian sausage is better in my opinion
2 (26 ounce) jars spaghetti sauce--I usually get tomato basil kind
6 slices of provolone cheese--i've tried with slices of smoked fontina too and was great
1 1/2 cups sour cream--i always get the organic or natural kind--it makes a difference!
1 pkg shredded mozzarella cheese
1 pkg shredded or grated parmesan cheese
Directions:
1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; Add ziti pasta, and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes; drain.2. In a large skillet, brown onion. Once almost carmelized, add the beef or italian sausage and cook through. Add 2 jars spaghetti sauce, and simmer 15 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 350F.
4. Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish. 5. Layer as follows: 1/2 of the ziti, Provolone cheese, sour cream, 1/2 sauce mixture, handful of shredded mozz and parm, remaining ziti, another handful or so of mozzarella and parm cheese and remaining sauce mixture; Top with remaining mozzarella and parmesan or whatever is needed to cover top.
6. Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cheeses are melted.
