Easy Baked Ziti

[Guest guest]

This is the easier parred down version of my usual recipe of baked ziti. In the

more " intense " recipe, I will layer the items more and also add some skim

riccota cheese mixed with an egg for a binder. Also I often add some chopped

spinach, minced capers, and more garlic; never have enough garlic. *lol* But

this baked ziti recipe has served me well when I am without all of the items in

my pantry and pressed for time.

1 medium onion, chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 tsp dried oregano

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

2 Tbs grated Parmesan cheese

 

In a large skillet, saute the onion and garlic in the olive oil until tender.

the tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 20

minutes. Place the ziti in an ungreased 11in. x 7in. x 2in. baking dish. Cover
