Time 1h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (16 ounce) package ziti pasta
2 pounds ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 (28 ounce) jar vodka marinara sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 (16 ounce) package cottage cheese
2 ½ cups milk
6 large eggs
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a large baking dish.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add ziti and cook at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 9 to 11 minutes.
  • While the ziti is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and onion to the hot skillet and cook until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, oregano, and garlic powder; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Drain and discard grease. Stir in marinara sauce.
  • Drain ziti and transfer to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese over top, then layer with cottage cheese, meat sauce, and remaining mozzarella. Beat milk, eggs, salt, and pepper together in a bowl, and pour over top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until set and bubbly, about 45 minutes.

PASTA BAKE WITH VODKA SAUCE



Pasta Bake With Vodka Sauce image

This is a simple, quick and relatively healthy pasta recipe (especially if you use whole wheat pasta and low fat cheese). I recommend using shorter pastas like penne, ziti, farfalle, macaroni or rotini. If you want to use spaghetti or linguine, break the noodles into thirds or quarters. You can also use any kind of sauce. I prefer vodka tomato sauce, but I've also used garlic basil, and it tasted great. I also stick the dish under the broiler for a minute or two after it's done baking to make the cheese brown and crispy.
