Provided by bnpolley

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces ziti, uncooked
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 pound lean ground beef, uncooked
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon ground rosemary
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
28 ounce canned crushed tomatoes
1 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and set aside. Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat; add garlic and sauté 2 minutes. Add beef and cook until browned, breaking up meat with a spoon as it cooks, about 3 to 5 minutes; drain off any fat and set pan back over medium heat. Add oregano, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper; stir to coat beef. Cook until herbs become fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and bring mixture to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Spoon a small amount of beef-tomato mixture into bottom of a 4-quart casserole dish (just enough to cover surface); top with half of cooked ziti. Next, layer with half of remaining beef-tomato sauce and half of mozzarella cheese. Layer with remaining ziti and then top with remaining beef-tomato sauce; sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake until cheese is golden and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Slice into 8 pieces and serve. Yields 1 piece per serving. Can add mushrooms and onion!
