How to Make Italy In A Dish
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook ziti pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, and oregano. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In a large baking dish (9x13 inch), layer half of the cooked ziti, half of the meat sauce, and half of the mozzarella cheese.
- Repeat layers with remaining ziti, meat sauce, and cheese, reserving a little cheese for topping.
- Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and oregano over the top.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly, and cheese is melted and golden brown.
