The ‘Oh So Delicious‘ was a great lead in don’t ya think? ~ because you will definitely want to try our Baked Ziti and finish it off with our Junk Cookies ~ they are both Oh So Delicious!
Caught your attention?
This Baked Ziti recipe does make a few more pots, pans and casserole dishes to clean up, but it is well worth the extra work, time and effort.
Tossing the cheesy cream sauce with the noodles prior to adding the seasoned tomato sauce makes the difference.
Then adding slices of homemade italian sausage will make it a meal.
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 x 13in pan
- Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large saucepan place oil and garlic and saute over medium heat until warmed thru. Add tomato sauce, diced tomatoes and seasoning. Cook for 10 minutes or so. Turn off the heat.
- Meanwhile pour 'cold' cream into another saucepan and whisk in the cornstarch. Then simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add the cottage cheese, eggs and about 1 cup of the tomato sauce mixture, along with 1/2 of the parmesan. Stir to combine.
- Then add the cooked pasta to the cream and cheese mixture ~ I mixed all this together in the 9 x 13 pan. Stir until coated. Pour remaining tomato sauce mixture over the top. Then sprinkle with parmesan and cubed mozzarella cheese.
- Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then remove from the oven, add in the baked italian sausage, remove foil and bake for another 20 to 30 minutes. Ready To Serve!
