Here's another good one!

Baked Ziti

• 1 lb ziti pasta
• 2 (26 ounce) jars spaghetti sauce
• ¾ lb. provolone cheese, sliced
• 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 16 oz. sour cream
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 onion, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped
• ½ tsp oregano
• ½ cup to 1 cup of fresh grated parmesan cheese
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• salt

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain.

Brown onion, garlic and ground beef over medium heat. Add spaghetti sauce and oregano, and simmer 15 minutes.

Layer as follows in buttered 8x12 inch baking dish; ½ of the ziti, salt, provolone cheese, sour cream, ½ spaghetti sauce, remaining ziti, salt, mozzarella cheese, and remaining sauce. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.

(Note: Add salt after each layer of pasta. To me it gives the dish a better flavor!)

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until cheeses are melted.
