PEPPERONI BAKED ZITI
Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Boil your pasta in salted water; cook it about 80% done, so if the box says 10 minutes boil for only 8 minutes. Drain and set the pasta aside. In a large pot sauté about three quarters of the halved pepperoni until it renders out most of its fat, if you have a lot of fat in the pan drain off the majority of it.
- Add in the diced onion and garlic. Cook the onion until it is starting to become transparent, then add in the crushed tomatoes with all the liquid in the can. Cook for about five more minutes before you add in the meat sauce. Use the red wine to make the sauce the right thickness. Turn down the heat and leave the sauce on the stove while you make the cheese filling.
- In a bowl mix the ricotta and most of the mozzarella cheese together with either the egg & Italian spices or the pesto. Add a good bit ground black pepper too. You may want to taste the cheese mixture and adjust the flavoring as you desire, I especially recommend adding extra pesto if the cheese is not tasting really flavorful.
- Now it's time to assemble, don't' forget to spray that ziti pan with non-stick spray. Baked ziti is free form lasagna; just throw it all in there until it looks good. I start with a big scoop of sauce then alternate "layers" of pasta, cheese mixture and more sauce until the pan is full. Then top it all off with the remaining shredded cheese and a layer of the uncooked pepperoni. Bake in a 350 degree oven until the top browns and the edges are bubbling, about 30-45 minutes. If you are concerned that it's not cooked through put a meat thermometer in the middle and get the exact temperature, about 160F is what you are looking for. Allow the pasta to rest for at least ten minutes before you scoop some out, top with extra parmesan as desired.

ZITI PEPPERONI CASSEROLE
This is my kids' favorite meal. And it's so easy to prepare, that they often do it themselves! It's very cheesy! I've also made this and cooked it in the microwave during the summer. Freezing instructions included. If you prefer, you may sub in ricotta cheese for the cottage cheese.

Steps:
- Cook pasta in salted water according to package instructions until just aldente them drain (so not overcook since they will continue to cook in the oven).
- In a deep pan or dutch oven, over medium-high heat, cook ground beef and onion, breaking up the beef with a spatula, until beef is fully cooked through and onions are softened (5-7 minutes). Add minced garlic, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper and sautee another minute. Add 5 cups marinara, bring to a simmer and continue cooking 5 minutes then turn off the heat.
- Spread a ladle of meat sauce over the bottom of a 9x13 casserole dish.
- Into the remaining sauce, add chopped basil and spoon in ricotta. Add cooked pasta and stir just until noodles are coated (you want to keep that ricotta texture)
- Transfer half of the pasta to the casserole dish. Top with 1/2 of shredded mozzarella and 1/2 grated parmesan. Add remaining pasta and top with remaining mozzarella and parmesan.
- Clear the edges of the pan so the cheese doesn't burn onto the dish. Bake at 350˚F for 25 minutes. Broil 1-2 minutes to brown the cheese. Let cool 5 minutes then garnish with basil if desired and serve.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and onions and saute until starting to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the ground beef and sausage and cook until browned. Drain off almost all of the fat, leaving a bit behind for flavor and moisture. Add the tomato sauce, tomatoes, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes and some salt and pepper. Stir, bring to a simmer and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes. Remove 3 to 4 cups of the cooked sauce to a bowl to cool down.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add some salt. Cook the ziti until not quite al dente.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a bowl, mix 2 cups of the grated mozzarella, the ricotta, Parmesan, parsley, eggs and some salt and pepper. Stir together just a couple of times (do not mix completely).
- Drain the pasta and rinse under cool water to stop the cooking and cool it down. Pour it into the bowl with the cheese mixture and toss to slightly combine (there should still be large lumps). Add the cooled reserved meat sauce and toss to combine.
- Add half the coated pasta to a large casserole dish or lasagna dish. Spoon half of the remaining sauce over the top, then top with half the remaining mozzarella. Repeat with another layer of the coated pasta and the remaining sauce and mozzarella.
- Bake until bubbling, about 20 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before sprinkling with chopped parsley to serve.
