Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
½ cup diced celery
½ cup diced onion
1 (14.5 ounce) can peeled and diced tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 pound dry ziti pasta
2 (4.5 ounce) cans sliced mushrooms, drained
8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In a skillet over medium heat, cook sausage with celery and onion until sausage is evenly browned, about 5 to 10 minutes. Drain excess grease, and set aside.
  • In another skillet over medium-low heat, combine tomatoes, tomato sauce, garlic powder, salt, and oregano. Simmer while preparing pasta.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente; drain.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a 3 quart baking dish, layer ziti, mushrooms, sausage, mozzarella cheese, and sauce. Repeat layers, and top with grated Parmesan.
  • Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until browned and bubbly.
