Baked Ziti

A couple of months ago I went to my friends home to play games.  For dinner we had her Baked Ziti and it was delicious!  I asked for her recipe and she was more than happy to share.  I made it for my family and they loved it as well so I thought I would share with all of you.

Ingredients:
  • Favorite Meat Sauce
  • 1 16 oz package of ziti noodles
  • Sliced provolone cheese (6 slices)
  • Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
  • 1/2 cup more/less of Sour cream (please note that I will probably leave this out next time I make this dish)
  • Parmesan Cheese

First make your meat sauce or use your 
favorite from a jar (if using jarred sauce
 you will need 2 jars). 

100_3800
Cook your ziti noodles until they are al 
dente(almost cooked) and drain.  Grease
 a 13x9 inch pan (I just use pam spray)
 and put in half of the noodles.

Put the sliced Provolone cheese
 on top of the noodles.

Spread the sour cream over everything.
 If your are a Sour Cream lover then you
 will enjoy this.  My kids don’t like sour
 cream but I didn’t think they would be
 able to notice it.  Some of the pickier kids
 could still taste the sour cream and 
complained – so they ate around those
parts.  When I make this again I will
 leave the sour cream out and I am sure
 it will be just as delicious.

Pour half of your sauce over the noodles.

Add the rest of your noodles.

Add the rest of the sauce and sprinkle
mozzarella cheese around along with
 some Parmesan cheese.
Put on as much as your family likes.

Cover with tinfoil and bake in a preheated
 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.

Serve to your hungry family – this is great served with my breadstick bites and a salad. 

This is very yummy.  You could really play around with recipe to make it your own.  Use different cheeses like Ricotta instead of Sour Cream or even add some Italian sausage into your meat sauce.  Enjoy!
