Ingredients

2 pounds of lean hamburger, cooked

1 Pkg (16 oz) ziti or small tube pasta

1 egg, lightly beaten

1 carton (15oz) part-skim ricotta cheese, divided

1/2 cup grated Parmesan Cheese, divided

2 jars (28oz) spaghetti sauce ( I like to use extra sauce Classico spinach Florintine is great))

2 tsp. chopped garlic

2 tsp basil

2 cups (8oz) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions

Cook hamburger , add to spaghetti sauce

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain pasta; set aside. In a small bowl, combine the egg, ricotta and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.

~Spread one cup or more spaghetti sauce in a baking dish coated with non stick cooking spray. Top with a third of the pasta, half of the ricotta cheese mixture, 2/3 cup mozzarella cheese, 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese and 1 cup sauce.

~Repeat layers of pasta, ricotta mixture and mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese. Top with the remaining pasta, sauce, mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese. Cover and bake at 375' for 45-50 minutes or until heated through. Yield 12 servings

Green salad and garlic bread goes great with this.
