Ziti Recipe
Must have a dish that is bigger than or fits the requirements of (height 2 inches and 14 x 14 inches!!!
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1/2 to 1 Onion
6 Garlic Cloves
1 Jar Marinara Sauce
1 Jar Alfredo Sauce
1 (28-ounces) Can Crushed tomatoes
1 cup Mozzarella Cheese
16 ounces Cottage Cheese
Grated Parmesan Cheese
Salt and Pepper
12 ounces 33/4 Ziti Noddles(Any type of noddle will do)
Lets Begin!!! =)
Step 1: Preheat a pan to a medium-low heat and poor olive oil
Step 2: Take 1 onion peal and cut in half. Cut it in even slices. If you wish to have more onion then continue with slicing the other half. As soon as the pan is ready put in onions. Stir regularly
Step 3: Take garlic cloves and smash (large knifes work great) then peal. Proceed to mincing.
Once this is done poor in with the onions and continue cooking until onions are clear and brown.
Making the Sauce!!!
Step 4: Poor all of the Marinara, Alfredo, tomato sauce cottage cheese and mozzarella cheese into a large pot on medium heat, Stir regularly for 5-10 minutes.
Step 5: Fill a pot with water and once boiling put in noodles. WARNING!!! ONLY COOK FOR 10 MINUTES then strain.
Step 6: Mix noodles into sauce and mix for a minute.
Step 7: Then poor into a oven durable dish and insert WITH A LID into a preheated oven of 475 degree's for 30 minutes.
Step 8: Remove lid from dish after the 30 minutes and continue for another 30 minutes.
Step 9: Pull out of oven and set to cool.
Step 10: Enjoy!!!
Reflection: It tasted absolutely mouth watering all the cheeses blended together nicely. When you take the noodles out early is softens and cooks into its more flavorful state in the sauce. One thing that I would have done differently is that when you but the oven on preheat make sure that there are no pans in the oven to burn yourself on!!!
The process of growing and cooking with herbs has changed my thinking because by showing all
the simple steps to make a great recipe for something I made myself makes me want to spread the word on how simple it is to live more sustainably.
A special thanks to my mom Sandra Wren for providing me with the ingenious recipe and for helping me bring it to life.
