Baked Ziti

Baked ziti is always well received for a potluck. In this case it was for the School Site Council meeting tonight. Served with a nice salad & Italian dressing.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ziti pasta
• 1 onion, chopped

• 8 ounces sour cream

2. In a large skillet, brown onion and ground beef over medium heat. Add spaghetti sauce, and simmer 15 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 350º. Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer as follows: 1/2 of the ziti, Provolone cheese, sour cream, 1/2 sauce mixture, remaining ziti, mozzarella cheese and remaining sauce mixture. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.
