Pasta Bake With Vodka Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Boil pasta in hot water until just underdone (two minutes or so less than the instructions on the box).
• While the pasta is cooking, heat oil and garlic in a saucepan over medium heat.
• Add peppers and mushrooms to the saucepan and sautee until just tender (about 5-7 minutes).
• Drain pasta.
• In a medium sized mixing bowl, mix sautéed vegetables, fresh tomatoes, 1 Tablespoon fresh parsley
• Add vodka tomato sauce and 1 cup of the low fat Mozzarella cheese and mix well.
• Pour the mixture into a baking dish. I use a 9" X 5" bread pan.
• Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of Mozzarella cheese and the remaining Tablespoon of Parsley over the top of the pasta.
• Bake at 375 degrees for ten minutes or until the cheese on top is brown and bubbly.

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.
