Baked Ziti

this is for sarah, her girls raved about it when i fixed it the other night. i use newman's own original marinara sauce. and i usually use about 2 cups of mozzarella because more cheese makes everything taste better!

(Italics added by Staci. I make my ziti very similar with just the addition of a few ingredients)

Baked Ziti with Italian Sausage

8 oz dry ziti, cooked and drained

2 tsp olive oil

12 oz mild Italian sausage, casings removed

(6 oz mushrooms, sliced)

(1/4 t. fennel seed)

Large jar spaghetti sauce of your choice

1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella

2 tbsp shredded parmesan or romano cheese

Preheat oven to 400. Grease a 9x13 pan. Heat olive oil in a large frying pan, add sausage and cook till no longer pink. Drain. Add sausage, and spaghetti sauce to the ziti, coat well. Pour into baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with cheeses. Bake for 15-17 minutes or until cheese is bubbly.
