I always think of my wife's best friend, Long Island, while thinking about a baked ziti recette. He likes Italian food like many New Yorkers. His wife produces classic Baked Ziti while we are out at his place for supper. It's not gluten-free. I have only a taste.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 LB Ground Beef
- 1 Red Pepper (chopped)
- 1 White Onion (chopped)
- 2 Jars Pasta Sauce (Be sure it’s Gluten Free!)
- 2 Cups Mozzarella Cheese
- 1 Cup Ricotta Cheese
- 1/2 tsp Italian Season
- 1/2 tsp Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Heat a pan to medium and add the ground beef to brown.
- Add the chopped onion, red pepper and spices to the ground beef.
- While the beef is browning, boil your pasta. I recommend boiling for 8 minutes, then testing to see if it is al dente. You are going to be baking this, so the pasta will continue to cook and soften while it bakes. You do not want soggy pasta. No one likes soggy pasta.
- While the pasta is cooking, add the two jars of sauce to your ground beef mixture and let simmer until the pasta is cooked.
- Add a ladle full of the sauce mixture to the bottom of a lasagna pan.
- Add a layer of pasta to the lasagna pan, a layer of sauce on top of the pasta and then dollop with ricotta and sprinkle with mozzarella.
- Continue layering pasta, sauce and cheeses until you have filled the pan and/or run out of ingredients.
- Cover with tin foil and bake for 30 minutes or until hot throughout.
