CAROLYN’S BAKED ZITI

Ingredients:

500g of good quality, dry pasta (I like rigatoni better than true ziti because of the size and ridges)

500g of ground pork sausage meat

660ml jar of good quality tomato sauce

340g of mozzarella, shredded

340g mozzarella, cubed into 2cm pieces

Butter to grease dish.

Salt and pepper

Method:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease a (SIZE dish) with butter.

• Cook pasta in a large pot of well-salted water—drain two minutes before it says on the box, so firmer than al dente. It will continue to cook and absorb the sauce in the oven.

• Fry sausage till fully cooked. Add to pasta along with the tomato sauce and combine. Add the cubed mozzarella. Stir to combine and pour into the prepared dish(es).

• Top with shredded cheese and bake for 20 minutes.

• Let it rest 10 minutes before serving.

Serve with a green salad.
