Ingredients:
9″ springform pan
1 lb ziti
spaghetti sauce (see below or use your own)
8oz shredded mozzarella
Sauce Ingredients:
1lb ground beef
2-12oz cans crushed tomatoes
1-6oz can tomato paste
herbs and spices to taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
For the sauce, brown the ground beef on medium heat until fully cooked and drain the fat. Try to break the beef into the smallest pieces possible. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, and spices and continue cooking on medium-low heat for about 20 minutes.
Cook the ziti according to package direction. When the ziti is done, stand the noodles in a springform pan that has been coated lightly with cooking spray.
Pour the sauce on top of the ziti, trying to fill the noodles as much as possible.
Next add the cheese to the top of the dish.
Bake for 15 minutes.
