Comment préparer Beautiful Baked Ziti
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cook ziti pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, brown the Italian sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease. Slice the cooked sausage into coins.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked ziti, sausage, marinara sauce, water, minced garlic, chopped basil, Parmesan cheese, and black pepper. Toss gently to combine.
- Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour the ziti mixture into the prepared dish.
- Arrange the slices of Italian bread evenly over the top of the ziti mixture.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the bread.
- Drizzle the tomato slices with olive oil and arrange them on top of the mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the ziti is heated through.
- Remove from oven and carefully tuck fresh basil leaves under each tomato slice.
- Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
