Let me know if you make it ❤️🔥 – 2 T @Graza – Yellow onion, diced – 1 head of garlic, minced, to taste – 1 t Italian seasoning – 1 t red pepper, to taste – Salt and pepper, to taste – @Tony Chachere original, to taste – 1 lb hot Italian sausage, can sub mild – 1 lb lean ground beef – 28oz @Rao’s Homemade Marinara – 1 lb Ziti – 15 oz ricotta – 1 egg – 2 cups mozzarella, more to taste – 3/4 cup parmesan, plus more for topping – Fresh parsley 1. Preheat oven to 375F 2. Boil your noodles in heavily salted water, 2 minutes less than package instructions (al dente). Drain and set aside. 3. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add in your onion, pinch of salt, Italian seasoning, and red pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes. Add in your garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 min. 4. Add in your sausage and beef (you might need to increase the heat here a bit). Season with salt, pepper, and Tony’s. Brown and cook until no longer pink. 5. Add in your Rao’s and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Reduce heat to low and simmer. 6. While your sauce is simmering, combine your ricotta, egg, mozzarella, parmesan, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Stir until everything is fully combined. Add in about a ladle or two of your meat sauce followed by your cooked ziti. Fold everything together. 7. In a 9×13” baking dish, add a thin layer of your sauce followed by half of your noodle mixture. Top with half of your remaining sauce, followed by half of your remaining cheese. Repeat once more: noodles, sauce, cheese. Sprinkle parmesan over the top and bake for 15 minutes and then finish under the broiler for 5 minutes. 8. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, more parmesan, and enjoy! #winterrecipes #winterrecipe #foodseries #comfortfood #pastatok #pastarecipe #pastarecipes #pastabake #pastabakerecipe #bakedpastarecipe #bakedpasta #bakedziti #bakedzitirecipe #foodtok #easyrecipe #easyrecipes #zitipasta
