I am repeating a recipe I haven't made in a few years. I have been making variations of this the past 3 years, but decided to re-share and probably be motivated to make this variation again soon.
Ingredients:
Sauce:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 gloves garlic, sliced
1 can (28 ounces) whole tomatoes
1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce ( I used manwich sloppy joe sauce)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 can (14.5) ounces basil and oregano diced tomatoes, drained
½ cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
Ziti and Cheese:
1 box (16 ounces) ziti
1 bag (8 ounces) shredded part skim mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan or cheddar cheese.
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 375F. Coat a 13 X 9 X 2 inch dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2.SAUCE: Heat oil in a 3- quart saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and cook 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook another minute. Stir in whole tomatoes and their juice, breaking tomatoes apart with hands or wooden spoon. Stir in tomato sauce, tomato paste, sugar, salt, and pepper. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes.
3. Remove pan from heat. Stir in diced tomatoes and basil.
4. ZITI AND CHEESE: Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boiling. Add ziti, boil, drain after 10 minutes, stirring. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Add half of the sauce to bowl with ziti. Stir to coat. Pour ziti mixture into prepared dish. Top with remaining sauce and then sprinkle with the cheese.
5. Bake at 375F for 20-25 minutes, until bubbly and lightly browned. Cool 10 minutes.
ENJOY!!!
