Baked Ziti

Ingredients

1 pound Italian Sausage
1 pound Ground Beef
1 can (28 Ounce Can) Stewed Tomatoes. I used a Basil Garlic blend
2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning
Salt And Pepper, to taste
1 box Ziti noodles (16 oz) Cooked Until Not Quite Al Dente
1 tub (15 Ounce) Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese
1-1/2 pound Mozzarella Cheese, Grated
1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 whole Egg
2 large handfuls of fresh baby spinach
1 jar of your favorite pasta sauce. I used Ragu Chunky (45 oz)

Directions

Brown sausage and ground beef until browned thoroughly. Drain of the grease. Add Italian seasonings, tomatoes, salt and pepper and cook on low for 20-25 minutes. The last 5 mins cooking add the spinach and allow it to melt down in the meat mixture.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a separate bowl, conbine 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).

Cook pasta as per directions on box but cook until just before al dente because they will cook more in the oven. 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

Add half the coated pasta to a large casserole dish or lasagna dish. Spoon half of the 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.

Thank you for all for allowing my things to be passed to so many!
