Ingredients
- 16 ounces uncooked ziti noodles
- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic, about 2 large cloves
- 2 (24-ounce) jars spaghetti sauce
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- ½ cup sour cream
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella, divided
- fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and spray a 6-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the ziti according to the instructions on the package. Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, cook the Italian sausage and ground beef in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until no pink remains.
- Drain off the fat and add the garlic. Cook for about 2 minutes before adding the spaghetti sauce and Italian seasoning. Bring to a simmer over medium heat before reducing the heat to lower and simmering for 10 minutes.
- Add the cream cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream, and 1 cup of mozzarella to a medium bowl and beat with a hand mixer until combined.
- Add the cheese mixture to the sauce and stir until it has all melted and combined.
- Stir the cooked ziti noodles into the sauce before pouring it all into the prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining 2 cups of mozzarella.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the cheese is melted and browned on top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve.
Notes
- For 6 Servings: To make this recipe for a smaller amount of people, cut all of the ingredients in half and bake it in a 3 or 4-quart baking dish for about 30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and browning.
