Company's Coming Layered Ziti Casserole image

I like to make this for family get-togethers. It's nice because you can make it up ahead of time and keep it in the fridge until you're ready to cook. In fact, I think it tastes better if you do!

Time 1h

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb dry ziti pasta
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon olive oil, for boiling
1 tablespoon olive oil, for frying
1 onion, sliced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 lb sweet Italian sausage
2 (26 ounce) jars spaghetti sauce
1 (6 ounce) package provolone cheese, sliced
3/4 cup sour cream
1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
1 pinch kosher salt
1 pinch fresh ground pepper
4 green onion tops, diced
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Grease a large deep casserole dish or lasagna pan. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, adding 1 t kosher salt and 1 t olive oil. Add pasta and cook 8 minutes. Pasta should still be firm. Drain.
  • Fry onion, garlic, ground beef and Italian sausage in remaining olive oil over medium high heat until browned. (Remove casings from sausage first.) Add spaghetti sauce and reduce heat to low. Add salt if needed.
  • In prepared dish or pan, layer half the cooked pasta, all the provolone, all the sour cream, and all the ricotta. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of salt over the ricotta and some fresh ground pepper to taste. Next, Layer all the green onions, and half the meat sauce. Next layer the remaining pasta, all the mozzarella, the remaining meat sauce and top with the parmesan cheese.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 25 - 35 minutes, or until cheeses have melted. (If you have it layered in a smaller, deep casserole dish, it will take longer to cook than if you have it layered in a more shallow larger lasagna pan.).

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover pasta. I usually have some cooked ziti in the fridge, and this is a great way to use it up. It's also a great dish to make ahead of time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the casserole turned out great! The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the pasta was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.

This casserole is okay, but it's not great. The sauce is a little too bland and the pasta is a little too mushy. I wouldn't make this again.

I was excited to try this recipe, but it was a let down. The sauce was too watery and the pasta was undercooked. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

I've tried this recipe a few times now, and I'm still not a fan. The sauce is too heavy and the pasta is always mushy. I won't be making this again.
