Ziti

Somehow my husband and I got carried away by the series “The Sopranos”, and in this series the heroes constantly ate some kind of dish called Ziti. We ate with gusto, so we also wanted to try what it is. I found the recipe on the Internet, adapted it for myself and now I cook it constantly. So if you like pasta, sausages, tomato sauce and cheese, then you will surely love this recipe too.

Servings: 5

Cook: 50 mins

Ingredients

• Pasta / Pasta (rolls, for example “Penne”) – 700 g
• Sausage (or sausages) – 4 pcs
• Tomatoes in their own juice (I used mashed tomatoes) – 500 g
• Dutch cheese (any hard, I have Parmesan) – 200 g
• Olives – 1/2 ban.
• Salt
• Sweet paprika
• Hot red pepper
• Basil
• Black pepper

Directions

1. We cut the sausages. If you are using sausages, you can cut them into circles. The main thing is that the pieces are not very large.
   I used two types of sausages, but in general, the more different types of sausages-sausages-colas you use, the tastier it turns out.
2. Three cheese. You can use any hard cheese, I used Parmesan cheese.
   We cut olives into rings.
3. Lightly fry the sausages. Turn off the gas and add paprika and red hot peppers to taste.
4. Cook pasta according to the instructions, but 2 minutes less. It is important that the pasta does not turn out to be boiled, since then they will still absorb the tomato sauce.We put it in a colander.
5. Cook the sauce. If you are using tomatoes in your own juice, you must first grind them in a blender. I immediately took mashed tomatoes.
6. Bring the sauce to a boil, salt and pepper, add dried basil.
7. You can use fresh basil, garlic, or other seasonings to taste. BUT if you are using fresh herbs or garlic, it is better to first beat the sauce in a blender, and then boil it.
8. Now we put all the ingredients together. And for a few minutes “marry” them together over low heat, stirring constantly.
9. Lubricate the mold with olive oil and lay out the first layer of ziti, sprinkle with cheese. Then we spread everything else, sprinkle with cheese and put olives on top. You can just put everything and sprinkle with cheese, but we like it when there is more cheese
10. We put in the oven at 200 degrees until the cheese is browned. My oven can do this in 15-20 minutes.
11. We take out from the oven. And we feed our hungry husband faster

Enjoy your meal!
