baked ziti


  1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until very al dente. Drain.
  2. In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and red pepper flakes and cook 1 minute. Add meat and season with salt and pepper. Cook until no longer pink, about 6 minutes, then drain and discard fat.
  3. Stir in tomato paste and oregano and cook 2 minutes more, until slightly darkened. Add crushed tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Bring sauce to a simmer, reduce heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced and flavors have melded, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in basil.
  4. In a large bowl, combine sauce and pasta. Fold in ricotta, leaving large clumps. Spread about half the pasta mixture into the bottom of a 9"-x-13" baking dish. Sprinkle half the mozzarella and half the Parmesan over the pasta. Top with the rest of the pasta mixture and sprinkle with remaining cheeses.
  5. Cover with foil and bake until cheese is bubbling about 20 to 25 minutes. 
  6. Garnish with more basil before serving.
