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; shreddedRecipe
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.
