6-8 Servings
Prep: 20 min. Bake: 45 min. + standing
Ingredients
·
12 ounces uncooked ziti or small tube pasta
·
2 pounds ground beef (I usually just use 1 lb of ground turkey)
·
1 jar (24 ounces) spaghetti sauce
·
2 eggs, beaten
·
1 carton (15 ounces) ricotta cheese
·
2-1/2 cups (10 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
·
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Cook
pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large
skillet,
cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain.
Stir in
spaghetti sauce.
In a
large bowl, combine the eggs, ricotta cheese, 1-1/2 cups
mozzarella
cheese and the Parmesan cheese. Drain pasta; add to
cheese
mixture and stir until blended.
Spoon a
third of the meat sauce into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking
dish;
top with half of the pasta mixture. Repeat layers. Top with
remaining
meat sauce.
Cover
and bake at 350° for 40 minutes or until a thermometer
reads
160°. Uncover; sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese.
Bake
5-10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand for 15
minutes
before serving. Yield: 6-8 servings.
