Baked Ziti

Talking to friendly people during Michaela and Michael’s various games is so much fun. Typically games are around dinner time and I’m usually starving. During Michael’s last season, one of Michael’s teammate’s father told me this recipe. It’s hearty, easy and delicious. Good thing kids play sports!

Ingredients

  • Ricotta Cheese
  • Italian spices
  • Garlic
  • Sausage
  • Sauce
  • Pasta – we use Ziti
  • Mozzarella cheese
  • Pepperoni

Instructions

  1. Layer the bottom of a glass pan with a large container of Ricotta cheese.
  2. Add the spices of your choice. I have used Italian seasoning, fresh garlic, oregano and paprika.
  3. The next layer is precooked sausage. We use Zweigler’s precooked sausage, a thing local to Rochester NY but it’s similar to any precooked Italian sausage.
  4. Cook the Ziti pasta following the package directions and layer it next.
  5. Then layer the sauce, the mozzarella cheese and finally put the pepperoni on top.
  6. Bake at 350 degrees until the cheese starts to brown and bubble.
