1 lb. dry Ziti (Can use Penne or another fun similar type Pasta)
1 onion, chopped
1 lb. lean ground beef
2 (26 oz) jars spaghetti sauce (Can use less, I just like my saucy!)
6-8 oz Provolone cheese, sliced
1½ C. sour cream
2-3 8 oz bags of Mozzarella cheese(just depends on how cheesy you like it!)
2 T. grated Parmesan cheese
Bring large pot of salted water to boil. Add ziti and cook until al dente, about 8 min.; Drain.
In large skillet, brown beef and onion over medium heat. Drain oil. Add spaghetti sauce and simmer 15 min.
Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 11x13 baking dish (sometimes I use two 9x9’s) with a bit of cooking spray and layer as follows:
½ Ziti
All the Provolone cheese
Sour Cream
½ Sauce Mixture
Remaining Ziti
Mozzarella cheese
Remaining sauce mixture
More Mozzarella if you want
Top off with Parmesan cheese(shaved works the best!)
Bake for 30 min. in the oven, or until cheeses are melted. You broil for a min or two if you want to brown the top!
made this yesterday, it was delicious. i used italian sausage instead of beef because i had more of that -yummy! in the future i would split this into two square pans like michelle said and freeze one -it was way too much food for us. half a recipe would feed us dinner plus a little bit for lunch the next day. highly recommended! :D
