I'm >actually looking to make a ziti casserole. I tried the other day (couldn't >contact the person who made it) and it seems like it's simply a lasagna >recipe with ziti substituted for the lasagna. Thanks! I'm not sure exactly what it is you wanted. I've included my own lasagna recipe (which doesn't use ziti) along with a number of casserole type dishes which do use ziti. Hopefully you will find what you want in there. If not, let me know more specifically what you are looking for and I'll see what I can come up with. Fred's Lasagna 1 lb ground beef - lean 2 Tbsp olive oil 3 1/2 cup tomatoes - (No. 2 1/2 can) 2 can tomato sauce - (8 oz.) 1 lge onion - diced 1 garlic clove - minced 1 1/2 tsp oregano 1/4 tsp rosemary leaves 1 tsp basil leaves - fresh, crushed (or 1/4 Tsp dried) 2 tsp salt 1 tsp sugar 1 cup mushrooms - sliced 1/2 lb lasagna noodles 1 lb ricotta cheese 1/2 lb Mozzarella cheese 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese - grated Saute ground beef in hot oil until meat loses its pink color. Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, seasonings and mushrooms. Mix well; cook slowly about 2 hours or until sauce is thickened. Cook noodles following directions on package; drain, rinse in cold water and separate. In a buttered 3-quart baking dish make two layers of the noodles, meat sauce, ricotta, slices of Mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese, in this order, using about half of each for each layer. Bake in 350 F oven 30 minutes or until bubbly. Serves 6 to 7. NOTE: Pepperoni may be added to meat sauce if desired. You may double the recipe for sauce; use half in making the lasagna, as above, and serve the remainder, cooked down until quite thick, in a sauce boat along with the lasagna.
