Ingredients and spices that need to be Make ready to make Baked Ziti:
- 2 lbs penne pasta
- 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
- 24 oz tomato sauce
- 4 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
- 4 cups mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup parmesan cheese
- 2 eggs
- 4 tbsp parsley
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1/4 cup halved pepperoni slices (optional)
Instructions to make Baked Ziti
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees
- Boil water. Add some salt (about 1 tbsp) to flavor the pasta as it cooks. Once it boils, add pasta and cook for 15 minutes. Once pasta is done cooking, mix in a bit of sauce to keep it from sticking.
- Heat a pan at medium heat, add the beef and some water (maybe 2 cups or so). Brown the chopped meat. This will take about 10 minutes - you’ll know it’s done when the juice is clear.
- Then drain it. Once the meat cools a bit, break it up into small pieces if it isn’t already.
- Get a large foil roast pan and coat the bottom with about 1/4 cup of sauce.
- In a large bowl, mix together the meat and all ingredients, except the cooked pasta. Leave a little bit of sauce to the side to drizzle over the top later.
- After the meat, cheeses, eggs, and seasonings are mixed well, add the pasta and mix well again.
- Put the ziti in the baking pan. Sprinkle some extra mozzarella and parmesan cheese (maybe 2 handfuls of each) over the top layer. Then drizzle the last of the sauce over top.
- Cover the pan with foil and cook in the oven for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Then, take off the foil and cook for another 20 minutes or so.
