    List of Ingredients




    Beef Ziti

    main dish, pasta

    12 oz ziti
    1 teaspoon olive oil
    2 clove garlic; minced
    1/3 lb ground beef
    1 teaspoon oregano; dried
    1 teaspoon thyme; dried
    1 teaspoon rosemary; dried
    1/2 teaspoon Salt
    1/2 teaspoon pepper
    1 can (28 oz) tomato; crushed
    1 cup mozzarella cheese; shredded

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 350°F.

    Cook pasta according to package directions without added fat or salt; drain
    and set aside.

    Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat; add garlic and
    sauté 2 minutes. Add beef and cook until browned, breaking up the meat as
    it cooks, about 3 to 5 minutes; drain off any fat and return pan to heat.

    Add oregano, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper; stir to coat beef. Cook
    until herbs become fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and bring
    mixture to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

    Spoon a small amount of tomato mixture into the bottom of a 4-quart
    casserole dish (just enough to cover the surface). Top with half of the
    cooked ziti and then layer with half of the remaining tomato sauce and half
    of the mozzarella cheese. Layer remaining ziti on top and top with
    remaining sauce and mozzarella cheese. Bake until cheese is golden and
    bubbly, about 30 minutes. Yields about 1 cup per serving.
