This recipe allows you to get creative with the sauce. It can be homemade with various veggies or from a jar. (These jarred pasta sauces are our favorites.)

Ingredient :

• 12 ounces uncooked ziti or small tube pasta
• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1 jar (24 ounces) spaghetti sauce
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 carton (15 ounces) ricotta cheese
• 2-1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions :

1. Cook pasta according to package directions.
2. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in spaghetti sauce.
3. In a large bowl, combine eggs, ricotta cheese, 1-1/2 cups mozzarella cheese and the Parmesan cheese. Drain pasta; add to cheese mixture and stir until blended.
4. Spoon a third of the meat sauce into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish; top with half of the pasta mixture. Repeat layers. Top with remaining meat sauce.
5. Cover and bake 40 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°. Uncover; sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake 5-10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.
