Number Of Ingredients 8

16 ounces Mueller's Ziti
1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 cup onion, chopped
2 cloves minced garlic or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
6 cups meatless spaghetti sauce, divided
1 cup pasta water, reserved from cooking Ziti
2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded

Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Mix meat/sauce mixture with Ziti. Spoon 1/2 of Ziti mixture into 13x9 baking dish. Sprinkle with Mozzarella and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese. Top with remaining Ziti mixture and remaining 1 cup Spaghetti sauce. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese. Bake 25-30 minutes or until heated through.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I used a vegan cheese in the sauce. It was still delicious!

I accidentally used penne pasta instead of ziti. It still turned out great!

This recipe is a little too rich for my taste. I think I'll try using a lighter cheese next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce turned out a little watery. Next time, I'll cook it for a few minutes longer.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to use a little less salt. Otherwise, it's perfect.

This dish is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. Just add some chopped spinach or zucchini to the sauce.
