POINTS® Value: 5 Servings: 8 Preparation Time: 20 min Cooking Time: 50 min Level of Difficulty: Moderate Ingredients:
|
| 12 oz uncooked ziti |
| 2 tsp olive oil |
| 2 medium garlic clove(s), minced |
| 1/3 pound(s) raw lean ground beef |
| 1 tsp dried oregano |
| 1 tsp dried thyme |
| 1 tsp dried rosemary |
| 1/2 tsp table salt |
| 1/2 tsp black pepper | | 28 oz canned crushed tomatoes |
| 1 cup(s) part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded | Instructions - Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat; add garlic and sauté 2 minutes. Add beef and cook until browned, breaking up meat with a spoon as it cooks, about 3 to 5 minutes; drain off any fat and set pan back over medium heat.
- Add oregano, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper; stir to coat beef. Cook until herbs become fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and bring mixture to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Spoon a small amount of beef-tomato mixture into bottom of a 4-quart casserole dish (just enough to cover surface); top with half of cooked ziti. Next, layer with half of remaining beef-tomato sauce and half of mozzarella cheese. Layer with remaining ziti and then top with remaining beef-tomato sauce; sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake until cheese is golden and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Slice into 8 pieces and serve. Yields 1 piece per serving.

Sounds yummy! I love pasta so I'll have to try it sometime.
Are you in my kitchen? I seriously made this today for later in the week. It smells super yummy! Today we're having Chili-Beef Tacos.
YUMMY! Thanks for sharing this great recipe. I can't wait to try it myself.
Kinda like a baked ziti meets lasagna....sorta! :)
I JUST started WW...on my own though....as much as I'd LOVE to do meetings, they're 30 minutes away and ONLY in the evenings. Just not a good time for me. So, I'm giving it a whirl, counting points on my own! So far so good....ha....2 days down! :)
Anyways........I welcome a WW recipe ANY day since it's all pointed out already. Makes life a little easier!! Thanks for sharing!
