Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Boil the ziti pasta according to package instructions until it's just al dente, drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, draining any excess fat.
- Stir in the marinara sauce along with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let simmer for a few minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the drained ziti, ricotta cheese, and half of the mozzarella cheese. Mix well.
Assembly
- In a baking dish, start with a layer of the meat sauce, add half of your ziti mixture, and then more meat sauce.
- Repeat the layering process, finishing off with the remaining mozzarella and a sprinkle of Parmesan on top.
Baking
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
