December 2009--Baked Ziti

I don't know what it is about cold weather and comfort food, but this recipe always satisfies my need for a warm, hearty meal. The other bonus about this dish is that it makes a lot--a good option for feeding guests.

* 1 (16 ounce) package dry ziti pasta
* 2 (28 ounce) jars spaghetti sauce
* 6 oz. (about 6 deli slices) provolone cheese
* 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
* 1 1/2 cups sour cream
* 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3. In a lightly greased 2 quart baking dish, place about half of the pasta; top with a layer of provolone. Spread the sour cream over the provolone slices. Top with half the mozarella.
4. Cover with remaining pasta, provolone cheese, mozzarella cheese and sauce; sprinkle a layer of Parmesan cheese over the top
5. Bake in preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until cheese and sauce are bubbly; serve.
