- Baked Ziti (fuzzbe2000)

1 onion chopped *(I like onion so I use a medium sweet
onion)
1 pound lean ground beef *(use more - about 1 1/2)
2 28 oz jars spaghetti sauce *(I add garlic to taste and a
little sugar to cut the acid)
6 oz provolone cheese sliced *(use more - probably 3/4
pound)
1 1/2 cup sour cream
6 oz mozzarella shredded cheese *( Use much more, at least 1
1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons grated fresh parmesan cheese *( use a lot more
of this too)
1. Cook ziti in lightly salted boiling water until al dente.
Drain. I usually rinse with cold water to stop any further
cooking.
2. In a large skillet brown onion and ground beef over
medium heat. Add spaghetti sauce and simmer 15 minutes.
3. Preheat oven to 350. Butter 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer

- Baked Ziti (Jerz girl2)
- 1 lb Ziti or Rigatoni's
12 oz Ricotta cheese
3/4 C grated Percorino Romano cheese
1/2 t salt
1/4 t black pepper
2 T chopped fresh Italian parsley
3 Cups quick gravy, homemade recipe is below...if you have
to use jarred, you can.
8 oz or more of a mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
Light the oven to 350. Bring a large pot of salted water to
a boil and cook ziti until a firm, drain and rinse under
cold water to stop the macaroni from cooking further. DRAIN
WELL.
Combine ricotta cheese, salt, pepper and 1/2 cup Romano
cheese and parsley in a medium bowl, blend well.
Toss the cooked macaroni with 2 Cups of the gravy. Place
half the macaroni in a 11 x 7 baking dish. Smooth 1/2 the
Ricotta cheese mixture over the macaroni and top with 1/2
the mozzarella cheese cubes. Add the remaining macaroni,
remaining gravy, mozzarella and top with Romano cheese. Bake
until heated thoroughly and the cheese is melted and the top
is browned on top. About 30-35 minutes.
Here is what you can do to make a real fast gravy...
1 28 oz can Italian tomatoes
1-2 large clove garlic minced
1/3 Cup olive oil
1/4 t Oregano
2 cans tomato sauce
1/3 t crushed basil
1 t sugar
1/4 t garlic salt
2-3 T Percorino Romano cheese
salt & pepper to taste
Heat large skillet, add olive oil when the oil is heated,
add crushed garlic let the garlic saute briefly...do not
burn, will make garlic bitter. Cook 2-3 minutes. Add
tomatoes and all seasonings and cook until thick enough for
macaroni. A can of mushrooms can be added 5-10 minutes
before the gravy is served. You can add 1 6 oz can of tomato
paste to make a thicker gravy.
You can also do a quick meat gravy...if you need a recipe, I
have one. You can serve with a homemade garlic bread...an
ingredient I use in my garlice bread, is a tiny dap of mayo
mixed with other indredients, so yummy!!
PS...you can also try a smoked mozzarella and 1-2 eggs in
Ricotta mixutre.

- Baked Ziti (vedawhee)
- Jar sauce is always acceptable if the desire to make
your own isn't there. if you are using jar, add the
hamburger to it, to flavor it up some more!
1 lbs of ziti noodles, cooked and cooled.
in a large sauce pan on the stove, over medium heat add 2lbs
of hamburger and start browning it. add
salt/pepper/garlic/parsley to taste. if she has an onion,
chop that up, add it in. if she doesn't, onion powder is a
fine subsitute! add 2 cans of tomato puree or crushed
tomatoes (those 1lb cans on the bottom shelf of the
supermarket are best). let simmer at least 30 minutes, but
the longer the better.
mix the sauce and noodles together. cover the top with
mozzarella and some parmigiana cheese and bake at 350 for
about 20-30 minutes until you start getting bubbles.
the noodles will soak up a lot of sauce, so it might seem
like a lot, but more is better than less, you don't want
those noodles to dry out!

- Bigoli (esadkmfa)
- 6 tbl. olive oil
4 tbl. butter (not sure but think so)
1 1/2 lbs. ground beef, crumbled
2 med. onions, chopped
3 carrots, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
1 cup milk (I use skim because that's what we drink but I'm
sure any will work - I've even used some 1/2 and 1/2)
2 cups white wine (I've used red in a pinch and it works
fine)
1/4 tsp fresh nutmeg
1 tsp. salt (not sure but I think so)
28 oz. can tomato sauce
Sautee onions, carrots, celery in oil/butter until onions
are transparent. Add ground beef. When ground beef has lost
its pink color add salt. Stir. Add add milk. Reduce (bring
to boil and then low flame). Add wine. Reduce. Add tomato
sauce and nutmeg. If under a low flame this tomato process
should take about 2 hrs. When reducing always remember to
stir so bottom doesn't burn.
When liquid is all evaporated and product starts to get dry
proceed to next step. When I'm not sure about the amount of
an ingredient I put "not sure." The measurement seems to
work for me but if anybody can suggest anything better I'm
open. You can play around with the measurements to suit your
families liking after you've made it the first. By then
you'll kind of have an idea how the recipe should taste.

One and a half jars of store bought spaghetti sauce.
32 oz. size of ricotta cheese.
4 eggs
ground nutmeg (optional)
8 oz. size package of shredded mozzarella cheese
8oz. size package of shredded cheddar cheese
In a bowl, mix the four eggs with the ricotta cheese until

- Italian Gravy - version 1
(Jerz girl2)
- 3 pounds ripe fresh plum tomatoes, peeled and seeded or
one 35 ounce can of peeled Italian tomatoes, seeded and
lightly crushed, with their liquid
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped (about 1/3 cup)
1/4 cup finely shredded peeled carrots
1/4 cup finely chopped celery (including leaves)
4 fresh bay leaves or 2 dried bay leaves
Salt
Crushed red pepper
Crushed garlic OPTIONAL
Pass the tomatoes through a food mill fitted with the fine
disc. Heat the oil in a 2 to 3 quart non-reactive saucepan
over medium heat. Stir in the olive oil and cook, stirring
occasionally, until wilted, about 3 minutes. Add the carrots
and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden,
about 10 minutes. Add garlic now if adding, brown to a
golden color, any darker makes it bitter!
Add the food milled tomatoes and bay leaves and bring to a
boil. Season lightly with salt and crushed red pepper. Bring
to a boil, lower the heat so the sauce is at a lively simmer
and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 45
minutes. Remove the bay leaves. Taste and season with salt
and red pepper if necessary.
- Italian Gravy - version 2
(Jerz girl2)
- Two 35-ounce cans Italian plum tomatoes (preferably San
Marzano)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium yellow onions, diced (about 2 cups)
6 to 8 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped fine
5 to 6 meaty pork neck bones
1 pound ground beef
1 pound ground pork
Salt
4 bay leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano, preferably the Sicilian or
Greek type dried on the branch, crumbled
3/4 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup tomato paste
3 to 4 cups hot water
Anchovy paste...secret ingredient...OPTIONAL
Makes about 8 cups...2 lbs of macaroni
Tomato paste is usually added along with the onions to
caramelize a little bit, but you can add tomato paste right
into the gravy.
(When the gravy is finished simmering, you can pull the meat
from the bones and stir it into the gravy.)
Pass the tomatoes and their liquid through a food mill using
the fine disc. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a heavy 4- to 5-quart pot over medium
heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until
golden, about 8 minutes. Make a little room in the center of
the pot, dump in the garlic, and cook, stirring, until the
garlic is lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add the pork
bones and cook, turning, until lightly browned on all sides,
about 5 minutes. Add the ground beef and pork and season
lightly with salt. Cook, stirring to break up the meat,
until the meat changes color and the water it gives off is
boiled away, about 10 minutes. Continue cooking until the
meat is browned, about 5 minutes. Add the bay leaves and
oregano, then pour in the wine. Bring to a boil and cook,
scraping up the brown bits that cling to the pot, until the
wine is almost completely evaporated. Pour in the tomatoes,
then stir in the tomato paste until it is dissolved. Season
lightly with salt. Bring to a boil, adjust the heat to a
lively simmer, and cook, uncovered, stirring often, until
the gravy takes on a deep, brick-red color, 2 to 3 hours.
Add the hot water, about 1/2 cup at a time, as necessary to
maintain the level of liquid for the length of time the
gravy cooks.
Skim off any fat floating on top and adjust the seasoning as
necessary. The gravy can be prepared entirely in advance and
refrigerated for up to 5 days, or frozen for up to 3 months.
(To give tomato paste a nuttier flavor,caramelize it by
cooking it in oil along with vegetables before the other
ingredients are added to the pot.)
- Italian Meatballs
(Jerz girl2)
- 1 lb ground pork
1 lb ground veal
2 lbs chopped meat(85%-93%)
PLAIN breadcrumbs
2 eggs
fresh parsley
garlic powder..I use alot, I love the stuff...sometimes
fresh.
again a ton of Locatelli Pecorino Romano cheese, I love the
stuff.
A pinch or 2 or 3 of water
A smidgen of Ketchup
On occasion a little bit of chopped onion
My grandmother sometimes added a pinch of red wine, I do
not.
- Italian Sauce (kdb1225)
- Olive oil to cover bottom of large sauce pan, or dutch
oven.
Chopped garlic and onions to cover the bottom of the pan and
cook until clear.
Add a spoonful or 2 of beef bouillon to the onion mixture in
the pan.
Add one large can of tomato paste and blend with
onion,garlic bouillon mixture. Stir until completely smooth.
Add oregano, basil, and parsley to this mixture and stir.
Add 1 large can of crushed tomatoes, and 1 large can of
tomato puree, and blend well.
Add one can of water for each can of tomatoes, puree and
paste you put in. Stir and let simmer until sauce thickens.
As soon as the meat is cooked and drained of all grease,
place meat in the pot with tomato sauce and continue to
cook.
Cook and stand back because the aroma from this sauce is so
good, people will be rushing to get into this pot of sauce
with bread!!! It's always better the second day.
Sometimes I will make Chicken Cacciatori and put it in this
sauce. I will cook the chicken breasts in the oven (boneless
skinless). While that is cooking I will take the different
colored peppers, mushrooms, sliced, and onions, sliced and
cook them in olive oil and garlic. when the chicken is done,
I cut it up and put it in the pan with the veggies, and let
it cook. You can keep it separate or put it in the sauce.
It's really good!!
I hope you enjoy these dishes and I do wish I could give you
the directions for the meatballs, but it's just a sense of
touch.

- Macaroni Pie (Jerz girl)
- 1 1/2 lbs ground beef (85% to %95 is fine)
1/4 cup chopped FRESH parsley leaves
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 small onion, chopped
3 eggs
1 cup grated parmesan cheese(Parm Reggiano)
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/4 teaspoons ground black pepper
3 cups cooked tubetti (tiny tubes or baby shells)
1/2 lb mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 lb provolone cheese, shredded
1/3 cup olive oil
4 cloves minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
56 ounces crushed tomatoes in puree
24 ounces tomato paste
20 ounces water
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup FRESH basil leaves, torn
2 ounces romano cheese
parmesan cheese, for garnish
You will need 3 hours 45 minutes 35 mins prep
Read directions all the way through first!!
Meat Crust: Mix ground beef, parsley, bread crumbs,
onion, eggs, 1/2 cup parmesan, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and
1/4 teaspoon pepper in a bowl very gently.
Do not over mix.
Put mixture into lightly greased 10-inch pie plate or
11" x 7" casserole dish.
Shape crust so that it's about 1" thick.
Tomato Basil Gravy(sauce)
In large pot, cook garlic and red pepper flakes in oil
on low heat for 4 minutes only.
Add tomatoes, paste, water, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1
teaspoon black pepper, sugar and basil leaves.
Bring to boil.
Reduce to low heat.
Add chunk of Romano cheese and cook for 1 1/2 hours.
Filling:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Mix the filling (3 cups cooked macaroni, 1/2 pound
mozzarella, 1/2 pound provolone, 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
and 2 cups tomato basil gravy) in a bowl.
Scoop into meat crust.
Bake for 1 1/2 hours.
Let cool for at least 15 minutes.
Top each slice with tomato basil gravy and sprinkle with
Parmesan cheese.
Be forewarned that the gravy(sauce) has to be cooked for
1-1/2 hours before you can even begin to put the rest
together. There's lots of prep, plus another 1-1/2 hours
for the assembled casserole to cook. It might take
longer than the time I listed. Everybody has a different
oven temp, might take longer...remember that! If top
starts to brown too much or burn put foil on. Tweak the
recipe, including the cooking times if you need to.

- Manicotti
(Gloria)
- This is not your ordinary manicotti recipe. You make
your own manicotti “crepes”. They are made quickly one at a
time in a small non-stick skillet, then filled, rolled and
baked. They literally melt in your mouth!
Sauce: Make your own meat sauce or use your favorite
store-bought sauce.
Manicotti crepes (makes about 24):
2 cups flour
2 cups water
½ teaspoon salt
8 eggs
Filling:
½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
4 eggs
3 lbs. ricotta
1 lb. shredded mozzarella
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
pepper, garlic powder and Italian seasoning to taste
To make manicotti crepes: Combine flour, water & salt. Beat
until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time. Heat a 5-6 inch
skillet and grease with a few drops of olive oil. Put about
¼ cup of batter in a hot skillet and roll around pan to
distribute evenly. Cook over LOW heat until firm (takes only
a minute or two). DO NOT BROWN. Turn and cook lightly on
other side. Proceed with remaining crepes (no need to grease
skillet a second time). Allow to cool slightly for ease in
handling.
To make filling: In a large bowl, mix the filling
ingredients together.
Making the manicotti: Put some tomato sauce on the bottom of
a large baking dish; spread to cover. Put about 2 heaping
tablespoons of filling down the center of each crepe and
roll up. Put manicotti seam side down in dish. Cover with
more sauce and sprinkle with additional grated cheese.
Bake in 350° oven for 45 minutes. Serve with additional
sauce and grated cheese.
You should not think these are difficult to make! I have
given the recipe to several people and most act like it
would be a daunting task! It isn't. It moves along quickly!
I have even taken to using 2 small skillets (I have 2, one a
little smaller than the other) when making a lot. I make the
pasta crepe in the first (takes maybe a minute on the first
side), then I flip it onto the larger skillet and cook the
second side (takes maybe 30 seconds). This moves along
quickly. If you only want to make enough for say a 13x9 pan,
then you only need half the crepe recipe which makes about
12-14, then adjust the filling, as needed. These can be made
ahead, just so you know. At Christmas, I make these the day
before (my kids help with the process, so it has become sort
of a tradition). I assemble the whole thing up until the
baking step. The next day, I take them out of the fridge a
little earlier, so they won't be so cold. If they are a bit
cold, you can bake this an hour.

Manicotti - version 1
(Jerz girl2)
- Gravy
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 small onion, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
2 large cloves garlic, minced
3 cups homemade or canned unseasoned crushed tomatoes
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Filling:
15 or 16 ounces whole or part skim ricotta cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus a little more
1 small onion, chopped
2 large garlic cloves, minced
4 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus 2
tablespoons
4 tablespoons freshly grated Romano cheese, plus 2
tablespoons
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
8 ounces manicotti shells, cooked al dente and drained
For gravy, heat medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add
olive oil and onions. Saute until onions are softened, about
3 minutes. Add the garlic and saute another minute. Add the
tomatoes, basil, parsley, salt and pepper. Cook just until
the mixture is hot, about 5 minutes from heat until
assembly.
Preheat oven to 400. Grease a 13x9x2 baking dish with olive
oil or olive oil spray. Heat a small skillet over
medium/high heat. Add the 1 tablespoon olive oil and onions.
Saute until onions are softened, about 3 minutes. Add the
garlic and saute another minute. Remove from heat and cool
slightly. In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 4
tablespoons Parmesan, 4 tablespoons Romano, onion mixture,
basil, parsley, salt and pepper. Using a small spoon, stuff
each manicotti shell with about 2 tablespoons of the cheese
mixture. Place side-by-side in the baking dish. Top with the
tomato gravy, then the remaining Parmesan and Romano
cheeses. Drizzle with a little olive oil. Bake, uncovered,
for about 25 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Remove from
oven and let rest 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
I always place the ricotta in a strainer lined with a coffee
filter and placed over a bowl to separate excess liquid. It
will take about 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Manicotti - version 2
(Jerz girl2)
- Filling:
2 cups ricotta cheese (15 ounces)
1 cup shredded mozzarella (about 6 ounces)
2/3 cup coarsely chopped basil
Salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
For the crepes:
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup water
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
Unsalted butter
3 cups tomato gravy
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1. In a large bowl, combine the ricotta with the mozzarella,
basil, 1 teaspoon of salt and the pepper.
2. In a blender, process the flour, water, eggs and 1/2
teaspoon of salt until smooth. Transfer to a bowl.
3. Heat an 8 inch crepe or omelet pan over moderately high
heat. Lightly butter the pan and add 2 tablespoons of the
batter; working quickly, swirl the pan to coat it evenly.
Cook until the top of the crepe is dry and the bottom is
lightly golden, about 1 minute. Flip the crepe and cook
until the bottom is lightly golden, about 20 seconds longer.
Transfer the crepe to a large plate and repeat with the
remaining batter to make a total of 16 crepes.
4. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Coat the bottom of a 3
quart baking dish with 1 cup of the tomato gravy. Arrange
the crepes on a work surface. Spoon 3 tablespoons of the
ricotta filling in a line down the center of each crepe.
Loosely roll up the crepes and arrange them, seam side up,
side by side in the baking dish. Pour the remaining 2 cups
of tomato gravy over the manicotti and sprinkle with the
Parmesan cheese. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the
tomato gravy is bubbling and the manicotti are heated
through. Serve piping hot.
- Manicotti
(kdb1225)
- 1 cup sifted all-purpose flur
1 cup water
Salt
7 eggs
2 pounds ricotta cheese
Grated Parmesean or Romano cheese
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 pound Mozzarella, cut into strips (I use shredded)
24 ounces Tomato sauce
To make pancakes: combine flour, water, and 1/4 teaspoon
salt and beat until smooth. Beat in 4 eggs, one at a time.
Heat a 5 to 6-inch skillet and grease with afew drops of
oil. Pul about 3 tablespoons batter in hot skillet and roll
around pan to distribute evenly. Cook over low heat until
firm (bubbles will form on top); do not brown. Turn and cook
lightly on the other side, Continue making pancakes until
all batter is used. This abount will make 12 to 14 pancakes.
Do not grease skillet a second time. NOTE: Too much oil in
pan will not let the pancakes form.
To make filling: mix 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 3 eggs, ricotta,
1/4 cup Parmesean, and pepper. Put about 2 tablespoons
filling and a strip of Mozzarella on each pancake and roll
up. Pour 1 cup of tomato sauce into a large shallow baking
dish. Put Pancakes seam side down, in sauce, Cover with
remaining sauce and sprinkle with 1/2 cup Parmesean. Bake in
preheated moderate oven (350 degrees)for 45 minutes
Makes 6 generous servings.
When I first made this recipe, I accidently added a little
sprinkle of parmesean to the pancake batter, and it adds
something to the pancake flavor, and I still do it today.
Not much, just a sprinkle.
These pancakes are light and much better than the boxes of
manicotti shells.

Rachel
Ray's Pasta Toss (coracora)
- 1 pound curly short cut pasta (recommended: campanelle
by Barilla, fusilli or cavatappi
Coarse salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan
1 pound ground sirloin
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, eyeball it in your
palm
Black pepper
1/2 teaspoon allspice, eyeball it in your palm
1 teaspoon, several drops, Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup dry red wine, a couple of glugs
1/2 cup beef stock
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 1/2 cups part-skim ricotta cheese
1 cup fresh basil, about 20 leaves
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, a couple of handfuls,
plus some to pass at table
Heat a large pot of water to boil for pasta. Salt water and
cook pasta to al dente. Heads up: you will need a ladle of
the starchy cooking water to help form sauce before
draining.
Heat a deep nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add
extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan. Add the meat and
break it up into small bits as it caramelizes. Once meat has
good color to it, 4 to 5 minutes, add garlic, onions and red
pepper flakes and season with salt, pepper, allspice and
Worcestershire sauce. Cook another 5 minutes, deglaze the
meat and onions with red wine, cook off a minute, then
combine about 1/2 cup of stock into the meat. Stir in the
tomatoes and bring to a bubble. Reduce heat to medium low
and simmer 5 minutes.
Place ricotta cheese in the bottom of a shallow bowl. Add a
ladleful of boiling, starchy pasta water to the ricotta and
stir to combine. Add a couple of handfuls of grated Parmesan
to the ricotta and mix it in.
Drain pasta. Toss hot pasta with cheeses. Add half the thick
meat sauce to the pasta bowl and combine. Tear or shred the
basil and add to the meat and pasta, toss again. Taste to
adjust salt and pepper. Serve bowlfuls of Not-lasagna with
extra sauce on top and more grated Parmesan to pass at the
table.
**Easier than lasagna, because it's not. This
pasta, meat sauce and ricotta toss-up is just as hearty and
comforting as the layered Italian favorite, but it's ready
in a fraction of the time and with much less effort
- Rigatoni (cooper)
- 1/2 pound hamburger or Owens sausage
1 32 ounce jar spagatti sauce (spicier the better)
1 pound box Rigatoni
1 small can sliced black olives
8 ounces mozerella cheese grated (2-2 1/2 cups)
Brown meat. Salt and pepper to season. Boil rigatonni
according to package directions but drain and rinse 3
minutes before being done.
Mix cooled rigatonni with pasta sauce and meat. Pour into a
5 quart cassarole (or better yet a tin foil throw away
cassarole.) Top with grated cheese and sliced olives and
bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until it's cheese is
glistening and smells like pizza!!! Enjoy.
If you have more time and the inclination, add chopped onion
and green pepper to the meat as your browning it for more
flavor and homemade taste. If your in a hurry, forget the
veggies and just buy a chunky Garden Style pasta sauce
instead and don't be afraid to add a little garlic or
italian seasoning to perk it up a little.
