Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the ziti in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain.
  3. Cook the beef, onion and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.
  4. Stir in the marinara, oregano, salt and pepper and simmer 5 minutes.
  5. Combine the ziti, ricotta and half of the mozzarella and Parmesan.
