Provided by á-49759

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 pound lean ground beef, at least 85%
1/2 pound bulk sweet Italian sausage
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried leaf basil
1/2 teaspoon dried leaf oregano
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
salt and pepper, to taste
8 ounces ziti pasta
1 cup ricotta cheese, whole milk
3/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1 large egg
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350° F (180° C/Gas 4). Lightly grease or spray a 2 1/2 to 3-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, sausage, and onion. Cook, stirring, until the meat is no longer pink and the onion is translucent. Add the garlic to the meat mixture and cook, stirring, for 1 minute longer. Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, oregano, and crushed red pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 to 12 minutes. Taste and add salt and pepper, as needed. In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, the egg, and 1 cup of Mozzarella cheese. Stir until well blended. While the sauce is simmering, cook the ziti in boiling salted water following directions on the package. Drain well. Add the hot drained pasta to the bowl with the ricotta cheese mixture. Toss lightly to blend. Add 2 cups of the meat sauce to the ziti mixture. Transfer half of the pasta mixture to the prepared baking dish. Spread about half of the meat sauce over the pasta, then top with the remaining Parmesan cheese and half of the remaining Mozzarella. Top with the remaining pasta mixture, then finish with the remaining meat sauce and remaining Mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley. Bake for 25 minutes, or until hot and bubbly around the edges.

1 c chopped onion
6 medium zucchini, halved & cut into 1/2" slices

1 tsp italian seasoning-i use herb de provence

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ground beef for the best flavor. Look for ground beef that is at least 80% lean.
  • Soak the bread crumbs in milk before adding them to the sausage mixture. This will help to bind the sausage together and make it more tender.
  • Season the sausage generously with your favorite herbs and spices. Some good options include garlic, onion, paprika, and cumin.
  • Don't overmix the sausage mixture. Overmixing can make the sausage tough.
  • Cook the sausage over medium heat until it is browned on all sides and cooked through.

Homemade ground beef sausage is a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and it can be used in sandwiches, tacos, pasta dishes, and more.
