Baked Ziti

This is an easy go to recipe that I got from an old ward cookbook.

Baked Ziti

½ pound ziti pasta
¼ diced onion
1 T olive oil
½ tsp. rosemary
2 cloves garlic
½ pound ground beef
1 jar spaghetti sauce
salt to taste
3 oz. provolone cheese sliced
½ c. sour cream
½ c. cottage cheese
½ pkg. mozzarella cheese
2 T Parmesan cheese

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta for 8 to 10 minutes (until done)and drain.

Meanwhile, heat olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Cook onion until tender. Stir in rosemary and garlic. Transfer to a small bowl.

Cook ground beef in skillet over med-high heat until evenly brown. Stir in the onion mixture and the spaghetti sauce. Season with salt. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9x13 baking dish. Layer ½ of the cooked pasta, provolone cheese, sour cream, cottage cheese, and a little less than ½ of the meat mixture. Then layer the rest of the pasta, mozzarella cheese, remaining meat mixture, and the Parmesan cheese. Bake in oven for 20-30 minutes.

* My notes from the original recipe:
I usually don't add in any sour cream.
I usually use dried onion and garlic.
