Baked Ziti (Episode 023)

Baked Ziti

1 - 16 oz package ziti
1 - 26.5 oz jar prepared spaghetti sauce (I usually add a third can when doubling this recipe. 1.5 cans is perfect - if I wasn't doubling it I may just add a can or two of tomato sauce to stretch the sauce a little)
1 t oregano
1 t basil
6 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
6 oz sliced provolone cheese
1 1/2 C sour cream
1 lb ground beef
1 chopped onion (I don't put in the onion, but use dehydrated onion or some other oniony thing)
grated parmesan cheese

Brown beef and onion. Add spaghetti sauce and spices. Simmer 15 minutes while cooking ziti noodles.

In a buttered 9x13 baking dish layer 1/2 ziti, provolone, sour cream, 1/2 meat sauce, remaining ziti, mozarrella cheese and sauce. Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top.

Bake at 350* for 30 minutes or until hot and melty.
