So every Wednesday and Thursday Phil’s son Austin is with us…that whole blended family thing. Well, Austin is a very…I mean a VERY picky eater….if he even suspects there is an onion gasp! a speck of veggie in something I make he will not eat or if he does he picks around every little piece! UHG!!! So with this is mind it is one of the reasons I have begun to make my own pasta sauces. Below is the step by step pics of the Baked Ziti that even Austin loved…:-)
The Ingredients
Browning of the ground sirloin and Sweet Italian Sausage
Lightly coat a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray.
Add in partial cooked Ziti pasta.
RESERVE 1 cup of the pasta water and add cheese mixture
(cheese mixture: 1 cup fresh grate parm and mozz cheese
1 container ricotta and 1egg room temp)
Mix well and our over pasta
Add in browned meats and combine
Top with Sauce and about 1/2 cup of parm and mozz cheeses
Baked at 350 for about 45 minutes
Let stand for about 15 minutes
SERVE!!!
Happy Eatings!
