BAKED ZITI WITH SAUSAGE | SOUTHERN LIVING



Baked Ziti with Sausage | Southern Living image

A classic pasta bake for busy weeknights, our Baked Ziti with Sausage is a guaranteed crowd pleaser. This easy, cheesy dish uses three cheeses – ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan – to create the perfect counterpart to our tomato-based meat sauce with ground sausage. And, trust us, it’s this homemade sausage meat sauce that really packs in the flavor. The addition of pancetta, or cured pork belly, makes this mid-week casserole a meat lover’s dream. If you haven’t used pancetta before, it’s the same thing as bacon just without the smoke. You can easily find it in the deli at most supermarkets.Serve this satisfying Baked Ziti with Sausage just once, and your kids are sure to request it again and again. Good thing it's ready in under an hour.

Total Time 1 hours

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 45 minutes

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tbsp.

olive oil

3

cloves garlic, minced

1

whole large onion, diced

1 lb.

Italian sausage

1 lb.

ground beef

1

can (28 ounces) whole tomatoes, with juice

2

cans (14.5 ounces) tomato sauce or marinara sauce

2 tsp.

Italian seasoning

1/2 tsp.

red pepper flakes

Salt and pepper, to taste

16 oz.

ziti or mostaccioli, cooked until not quite al dente

1

tub (15 ounces) whole milk ricotta cheese

1 1/2 lb.

mozzarella cheese, grated

1/2 c.

grated parmesan cheese

1

whole egg

Fresh minced parsley

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and saute for several minutes, or until starting to soften. Add Italian sausage and ground beef and cook until browned. Drain off fat, leaving a bit behind for flavor and moisture. Add tomatoes, tomato juice, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Stir and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes. After that time, remove 3 to 4 cups of the sauce to a different bowl to cool down.  Preheat oven to 375°. In a separate bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, 2 cups of the grated mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, and salt and pepper. Stir together just a couple of times (do not mix completely). Drain the pasta and rinse under cool water to stop the cooking and cool it down. Pour it into the bowl with the cheese mixture and toss to slightly combine (there should still be large lumps.) Add the cooled meat sauce and toss to combine.  Add half the coated pasta to a large casserole dish or lasagna dish. Spoon half of the remaining sauce over the top, then top with half the remaining mozzarella cheese. Repeat with another layer of the coated pasta, the sauce, and the mozzarella. Bake for 20 minutes, or until bubbling. Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes before serving. (Sprinkle chopped parsley over the pasta before serving!)
