Ingredients

  • 12 oz uncooked ziti pasta (about 4 cups)
  • 1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian herb seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 can (28 oz) Muir Glen™ Organic Crushed Tomatoes with Basil
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 oz)
  • 1 jar (15 oz) creamy Alfredo pasta sauce

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. Cook and drain pasta as directed on package.

    Meanwhile, in 12-inch skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat 8 to 9 minutes, stirring occasionally, until brown; add garlic, and cook about 1 minute or until fragrant. Drain; return meat mixture to skillet. Over medium-low heat, stir in Italian seasoning, pepper flakes and salt. Add tomatoes, cooked pasta and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese; cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until completely blended and heated through. Spoon mixture into baking dish; sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Top with Alfredo sauce and remaining 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese.

    Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until bubbly and cheese is melted.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Muir Glen™ organic fire roasted crushed tomatoes can be used in place of crushed tomatoes with basil in this recipe.
  • tip 2
    Italian herb seasoning is readily available in the spice aisle of your grocery store. Or you can substitute 1/2 teaspoon each of dried basil, oregano and thyme in place of herb blend.
