Baked Ziti

When it comes to Baked Ziti, I am picky. So I am posting the PERFECT Bake Ziti recipe. The great thing is this doesn't take all day to make. But don't worry, you aren't sacrificing taste for time. This also freezes well for those of you who make meals ahead of time.

1lb. Penne Pasta

2 24 oz. Prego Pasta Sauce

Brown the meat with Garlic, Basil and salt and pepper. Cook the Penne Pasta al-dente according to package directions. In a bowl combine all ingredients except cheese. Pour in a 9x13 baking dish and bake on 350 for 30 minutes. Top with cheese and cook 10 minutes longer.
