Baked Ziti

[Jeff Lebowski]

I am looking for a good baked ziti recipe. We have tried a couple but they were just so-so.

Thanks in advance.

if you come clean my brother's mirror, you can get the ingredients for squeezed ziti.

The missionary special

Pasta al Forno

1 lb. ground beef or sausage
1 can (16 or 20 oz not sure which it is) of tomato sauce
salt, pepper, oregano, basil to taste
1 16 oz. package of ziti
as much grated cheese of your choice as you want.

Brown ground beef or sausage. At the same time in a sauce pan, add tomato sauce, salt, pepper, oregano and basil on low-med heat. Stir occassionaly. When the sauce starts to bubble add ground beef/sausage, mix it well and turn heat down to low.

After adding the meat to the sauce it's time to start cooking the pasta. Add 1/2 cup of olive oil to the water before bringing to a boil. (This will prevent the water from boiling over and add a nice flavor to the pasta). When the water boils, cook pasta until it's how you like it.

Drain pasta and add to the sauce. Stir well then put in a baking dish and add cheese to the top. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 350* for 10-15 minutes.
