RAGÚ No Boiling Beefy Baked Ziti

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 jar (24 ounces) RAGÚ® Old World Style® Traditional Pasta Sauce
  • 1 box (16 ounces) ziti pasta
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until it’s browned. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Stir in the RAGÚ® Old World Style® Traditional Pasta Sauce and let it simmer for a few minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, cook the ziti pasta according to the package instructions, but be sure to leave it a tad undercooked, as it will finish cooking in the oven.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  6. Once the pasta is ready, combine it with the beef sauce, ensuring every piece of pasta is well coated.
  7. In a baking dish, start layering the ingredients: half of the pasta and beef mixture first, followed by half of the ricotta mixture, and then sprinkle a layer of mozzarella cheese on top.
  8. Repeat the layers until you have used all your ingredients, finishing with a generous layer of mozzarella and some grated Parmesan cheese for that golden crust.
  9. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  10. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.
