OVEN BAKED ZITI & LEMON CRISP COOKIES

I made a new Casserole recipe today.
I was very pleased with how it turned out.


-ANOTHER MEAL IN A HURRY-


OVEN BAKED ZITI

1 1 lb box of ziti, cooked and drained
1 lb. of ground beef
(You can also use ground turkey or ground sausage)
1 small onion, diced
1-2 tsp minced garlic
(I use the jarred garlic)
2 26 oz. cans of pasta sauce
1 lb. of shredded mozzarella cheese, Set aside 1 1/2 cups

Cook and drain ground beef, onion and garlic.
Mix all ingredients except about 1 1/2 cups of the mozzarella.
Place Mixture into a sprayed 9x13 pan,
Cover with foil and bake at 350 for approximately 20 minutes.
Then uncover,
sprinkle remaining cheese on top
and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
( you may need to adjust cooking time, my oven cooks fast)

This pasta also Freezes Very well.


Here is the recipe I used for my
lemon crisp cookies.
