Provided by lindaauman

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 whole large onion, diced
1 pound Italian sausage
1 pound ground beef
1 (28-ounce) can whole tomatoes, with juice
2 (14.5-ounce) cans tomato sauce or marinara sauce
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
Salt and pepper, to taste
16 ounces ziti or mostaciolli, cooked just shy of al dente
1 (15-ounce) package whole milk ricotta cheese
1 1/2 pounds mozzarella cheese, grated
1/2 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
1 whole egg
Fresh parsley, minced

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and saute for several minutes, or until starting to soften. Add Italian sausage and ground beef and cook until browned. Drain off fat, leaving a bit behind for flavor and moisture. Add tomatoes, tomato juice, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Stir and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes. After that time, remove 3 to 4 cups of the sauce to a different bowl to cool down. Preheat oven to 375°F. In a separate bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, 2 cups of the grated mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, and salt and pepper. Stir together just a couple of times (do not mix completely). Drain the pasta and rinse under cool water to stop the cooking and cool it down. Pour it into the bowl with the cheese mixture and toss to slightly combine (there should still be large lumps.) Add the cooled meat sauce and toss to combine. Add half the coated pasta to a large casserole dish or lasagna dish. Spoon half of the remaining sauce over the top, then top with half the remaining mozzarella cheese. Repeat with another layer of the coated pasta, the sauce, and the mozzarella. Bake for 20 minutes, or until bubbling. Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the pasta just before serving.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The only thing I would change next time is to use a different type of cheese. I used mozzarella, but I think a blend of mozzarella and cheddar would be even better.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out great. I like to add a little bit of Italian sausage to the sauce for extra flavor.
