Baked Ziti



My very first casserole!

8 oz. ziti
1 pound ground turkey
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
1 can (28 oz.) crushed tomatoes, undrained
1 can (16 oz.) tomato sauce
1 t. oregano
1 C. grated Mozzarella cheese
1/4 C. grated Parmesan cheese
2 T. dried parsley

Cook ziti in boiling, salted water according to package directions; drain.

Lightly brown turkey and onion in a large saucepan. Add garlic, tomatoes with can liquid, tomato sauce and oregano. Simmer for 15 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

Mix cooked ziti and sauce together in a 3 quart baking dish. Combine Mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses; sprinkle lightly over ziti mixture. Sprinkle with parsley.

Bake for 25 minutes or until lightly browned and bubbly.

Yield: 6 servings.

Thoughts: The sauce was okay, not as good as my dad makes it though! It turned out pretty good for my first ever casserole, if I do say so myself! Make sure to leave the pasta very al dente before putting it in the casserole...it came out slightly mushy. I could probably just eat the cheesy crust on its own and call it a day!
