Categories main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

Olive oil, for greasing
1 pound ziti
Kosher salt
3 1/2 cups Quick Tomato Sauce, recipe follows
1 pound fresh mozzarella, half cut into 1/2-inch cubes and half thinly sliced
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch crushed red pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound sweet and/or spicy Italian sausages, casing removed and sausage crumbled
1/4 medium onion, diced (about 3 tablespoons)
3 cloves garlic, chopped
One 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes in puree, roughly chopped
Sprig thyme
Sprig basil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt generously and boil the pasta until al dente (tender but still slightly firm). Drain.
Toss the cooked pasta with the quick tomato sauce, cubed mozzarella, half the Parmesan, all of the black pepper and crushed red pepper in a large bowl. Transfer the pasta to the prepared baking dish. Cover the top of the pasta with the sliced mozzarella and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan. Bake until lightly browned and hot, about 30 minutes. Serve immediately.
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook the sausage until beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Add the onion and garlic, stirring, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes more. Add the tomatoes and the herb sprigs and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.
Remove and discard the herb sprigs. Stir in 2 teaspoons salt and season with pepper. Use now or store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your Speedy Ziti.
Cook the pasta al dente: This means cooking it until it is still slightly firm to the bite. This will prevent it from becoming mushy when it is combined with the other ingredients.
Use a good quality tomato sauce: A flavorful, well-seasoned tomato sauce is the key to a great Speedy Ziti. You can use a jarred sauce or make your own.
Don't skimp on the cheese: Cheese is what makes Speedy Ziti so rich and decadent. Use a good quality, flavorful cheese that melts well.
Add some protein: Ground beef, sausage, or chicken are all great additions to Speedy Ziti. They add flavor and protein to the dish.
Bake it until bubbly: The Speedy Ziti is done baking when it is bubbly around the edges and the cheese is melted and golden brown.

Conclusion:

Speedy Ziti is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. It is a versatile dish that can be customized to your own liking. With a few simple ingredients and steps, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table in no time.
