Melissa Gardner

Ingredients:
1 pound dry Ziti Pasta
1 Onion, chopped
1 pound lean Ground Beef
2 (26 oz.) jars Spaghetti Sauce
6 ounces Provolone Cheese, sliced
1 ½ cups Sour Cream
6 ounces Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
2 tbsp grated Parmesan Cheese

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add ziti pasta, and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes; drain. In a large skillet, brown onion and ground beef over medium heat. Add spaghetti sauce, and simmer 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer as follows: ½ of the ziti, Provolone cheese, sour cream, ½ sauce mixture, remaining ziti, mozzarella cheese and remaining sauce mixture. Top with grated Parmesan cheese. Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cheeses are melted.
