'Classic' Baked Ziti

Had the BEST baked ziti at a little restaurant in Florida a couple of years ago and have never had anything since that compares.... this one came close.  I found it on Pinterest from budgetsavvydiva.com....  Here is the recipe with my own additions and changes!

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground sausage (original recipe calls for ground beef, but I had sausage that needed to be used and it added a fun flavor to it...Yum!)
• 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil
• 1 cup onion, chopped (Brian has onion issues, so I skipped the real onion, but I did sprinkle in some dried chopped onion...and hoped he wouldn't notice!)
• 2 garlic cloves, minced (I used one 'HEAPING' tsp of pre-minced garlic)
• 1 (32 ounce) jar meatless sauce
• 1 cup chicken broth
• pinch of salt
• 3/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon of pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
• 1 (16 ounce) package Ziti pasta , cooked and drained (make sure the pasta is slightly under cooked, so it doesn't get mushy in the baking process!)
• 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat oven at 350
2. In a large skillet – heat oil and cook onions for 8 minutes than add garlic and cook for one minute. Add beef and cook till no longer pink (drain excess fat).
3. Stir in sauce, chicken broth, pepper, salt garlic powder, and oregano. Heat through.
4. Stir 1 cup of sauce into the “cooked” ziti pasta. (I used more than a cup....)
5. Place 1/2 of the ziti into a 13×9 baking dish.
6. Place 1 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese
7. Top with rest of sauce.
8. Top with rest of pasta.
9. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
10. Sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese.
11. Bake until cheese is golden brown and sauce bubbles around the edges.
12. Enjoy!
