If you love layered pasta casserole, don't limit yourself to lasagna. Baked ziti is lasagna's delicious cousin and a long-time favorite comfort food. Because of the savory richness of the cheese, meat and sauce it's very filling and great for large gatherings. I like the pasta completely coated with sauce.

Loaded Meaty Baked Ziti instructions

  1. While you boil water and cook your pasta, Put the onion and bell pepper into a deep skillet with olive oil, over medium heat for 3-4 min. Add mushrooms and cook until vegetables are soft.(another 3-4 min).
  2. Take out vegetables, put in minced garlic cook for 1 min, and brown beef and sausage in the same skillet adding the pepperoni when the beef and sausage are almost brown. Drain the grease..
  3. Add vegetables back to the skillet along with the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, wine, oregano, basil, and garlic powder. Stir together and bring to a simmer. (If sauce is too thick add a little of the water from boiling the noodles, or a bit more wine.).
  4. Combine sauce with noodles, mix well, pour half into a large baking dish and cover with mozzarella cheese. Pour other half on top and cover with cheese blend. (I use provolone, fontina, parmesan and romano), bake for 25-30 minutes at 375° or until cheese is golden brown on top..
  5. Serve with grated Parmesan. This dish is even better the next day!.

Add a layer of mozzarella -- should be roughly half. Top with the rest of the ziti and then the rest of the mozzarella. Let it cool to nearly room temperature (or refrigerate). Baked ziti is the dish I make at the annual ski retreat that my friends and I take each year in New England. There are few pasta bakes that are easier to put together yet produce such ridiculously good results, particularly when it's snowing outside and you've got a whole cabinful of friends to feed.
