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]
