Baked Ziti

This one originated from Anna P. too, and has become a regular!

Though it's called Baked Ziti, I actually use Penne noodles.

Ingredient list:
1 16 oz box of Whole Wheat Penne Noodles
1 package of ground Mild Italian sausage (use turkey sausage to be healthier ;0))
1 LARGE can of Petite Diced tomatoes
1 Tbsp of Tomato Paste
2 cloves of Garlic (minced)
1 Tbsp dried Basil or chopped fresh Basil
Half a white onion
1 bag of Shredded Mozerella
1 bag of Shredded Parmesan






















Directions:
Dice onion and mince garlic. Saute in LARGE skillet until the onion starts becoming translucent.
Add ground sausage, and cook until sausage is no longer pink at all.
Add can of petite diced tomatoes, AND 1 Tbsp of tomato sauce.
Add 1 Tbsp of Basil
Stir and Simmer on low......























Preheat the Oven to 350 degrees.
Boil your water, pour in noodles and boil for 10 minutes.



when noodles are done, layer the ingredients in a 9x13 casserole dish in this order:

Half of the Noodles
Half of the Meat Sauce
Half the bag of Mozerella
Half the bag of Parmesan
REPEAT :)

Place in the Oven and bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the edges start turning golden brown :)

ENJOY! this was our leftover's shot!
This is a big dish, it'll feed 4-6 people.
