Baked Ziti

Sorry for the late post - things have been hectic with the start of the new semester and I haven't had a chance to sit down and properly write out a post. This one will be short and sweet, and hopefully I'll have another one up soon for this week.

So last week my friend and I decided to come back to campus a week early to catch up on some lab work, and made a huge pan of baked ziti, which lasted us about 4 days. We're lazy, I know. I take absolutely zero credit for this recipe, this one goes to Brian. The recipe is (sort of) as follows:

Ingredients:
1 pound of ziti
1 pound of ground turkey
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon Adobo seasoning
8 ounces shredded mozzarella
8 ounces shredded colby jack
8 ounces cottage cheese
1 jar (25 ounces) pasta sauce

Directions:
1. Cook pasta in salted water as directed on the box.
2. In a large skillet, add ground turkey, salt, pepper and Adobo seasoning and cook for 10 minutes on medium-high heat. Add the jar of pasta sauces to the pan and let simmer.

3. In a large casserole dish, add a layer of pasta across the bottom (about half of the pasta). Layer half of all the cheeses on top, and top with half of the sauce. Repeat the layers, and save a small amount of cheese to add to the top of the ziti.

4. Bake at 375ºF for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melty and golden brown on the top

And voila! It's delicious, can feed a crowd and stores well. I know I'm going to fish this recipe out a couple of times throughout the semester when I'm in a pickle and need something in my fridge I can pick at for a while.
