Baked Ziti
This recipe is like an easy version of lasagna. It is quick and delicious! It is a great
dish for a dinner party, family dinner, pot luck, or even to make for someone that is sick, they can just through it in the oven and bake it themselves. No matter why you make it, it will be a guaranteed hit!
I chose to show you the quickest method for this recipe using jarred spaghetti sauce. You can instead of jarred spaghetti sauce use:
Total servings: 8-10 Total Cost: $7.75
1 12oz Box of Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta
1 Jar of Spaghetti sauce (Whatever kind you like)
1/4 Cup of Water
1lb of Ground Turkey Breast
1 16oz Bag of Mozzarella Cheese
1 24oz Container of Cottage Cheese or Ricotta Cheese
2 Eggs
1/2 Cup of Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp of Basil
1 tsp of Chopped Garlic or Garlic Powder
8oz of Sliced Mushrooms (Optional)
1 tsp of Red Pepper Flakes (Optional for spice)
