Easy and Delicious Baked Ziti

This is a great recipe for families with little time for cooking. I serve this for my family regularly and it's always a hit. I make it most often with grilled (already cooked) chicken strips or ground beef. I've also made it once with some good italian sausage. This dish is still good without a meat item.

Ingredients:

1-16 oz. box dried ziti or penne pasta
32 oz of your favorite pasta sauce
8 oz. finely shredded mozzarella or italian blend cheese
6-12 oz. meat (ground beef, chicken strips, italian sausage)
fresh basil sliced in a chiffonade (thin ribbon-like strips) or dried italian seasoning


Directions:
Prepare meat addition and put to side. Drain ground beef or sausage of grease.
In a large pot, boil water and cook pasta according to the directions on the package.
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to BROIL at 400 degrees F.
In a large bowl, blend pasta sauce with meat.
Spray large casserole dish with cooking spray. Pour cooked and drained pasta into casserole dish, then spoon sauce/meat mixture over the pasta and mix evenly. Add basil or italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle cheese generously over pasta and place in center of oven for 20-25 minutes (until cheese is golden and starts to bubble).

When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the LORD your God for the good which he has given you. [Deuteronomy 8:10]

Excellent Wine: Cupcake Merlot Central Coast California

We found this wine at a store in New Bern. It was excellent and we have had it again. It has a very fruity taste. This would be a great wine to serve at Lord's Supper time. Retail: under $15.00

Grocery Recommendation: Edwards Hershey's Chocolate Cream Pie

This pie is truly divine and it is even sanctified by the word of God with this passage of scripture written right on the box:

O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man who trusts in him. [Psalm 34:8]

Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two [or] three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four [or] five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, says the LORD God of Israel. At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel. [Isaiah 17:7-8]
