Phase 4 – Making the Casserole

Greese a cassarole dish, and line the bottom with your potatos, they don’t need to be absolutely dry, but should mostly be dry, put some black pepper and dill spice over it, you don’t want to over spice this here.

Baked Ziti 2024

Baked Ziti can be compared to lausuagna but there are differences, and it can taste absolutely amazing, and a very fun dish, doesn’t take a lot of prep time and can be quite tasty, and a crowd pleaser.

You can buy your marinara sauce, or you can buy it, see the link below to our homemade marinara sauce we made.

Click here for the video!

Its fun, and easy, and it tastes amazing!

Phase 1 Choppy Choppy

So if you have a food processor run these through it to get it almost puried, if you don’t then chop it up as finely as you can.

1 Large onion, a whole garlic, roasted peppers (This is optional, you don’t have to have this.)

Phase 2 Cheese Please!

You will want to grade a lot of parmesan cheese, (You can buy this pre graded.) and your Mozzarella, (please do not buy pre graded.) You are going to need enough of this.

Phase 3 The Noodles

Normally this recipe calls for Ziti noodles, however these are not always easy to get, and in fact, I’ve never been able to find them, penne noodles work just fine.

Cook your noodles either near done, or done according to the package directions, when done drain the water, however do not drain them as we need the starch on it later to help the sauce to stick to the noodles.

Phase 4 The Sauce

Oil your pot and put your onions and ground beef in, cook until the onions are getting cooked, then add the garlic and then roasted garlic , put salt and pepper in.

Put 5 cups of marinara sauce in and mix well.

Put a container of robata cheese in and mix well.

Add your pasta and mix it.

On a casserole dish put a small spread of your meat sauce no noodles.

This way you won’t need to grease our pan.

Pre Heat your oven to 350 degrees.

Now put half of your meat sauce into the pan.

Cover in half your parmesan cheese, and your mozzarella

Now put the rest of your meat sauce in, and cover the rest with cheese.

Now bake it for 25 minutes!

When done leave sit for at least 10 minutes before serving, (other wise your going to have a lot of loss flavor)

Serve!

We hope you like this, its one of our favorite dishes, and we through we would come back to this and share with you our favorite!

Marinara Sauce 2024

Marinara sauce is one of those Italian sauces that you are going to use on almost every type of pasta sauce, spaghetti sauce, pizza sauce, Lausanne sauce, this sauce is very versatile and can be used for a lot of different things, and honestly tastes great.

And another fun fact, is you can easily buy this, and yes you can, but it also has a lot of preservatives, and not as healthy or even as good tasting. Sure its more convenient, and some times cheaper, but your sacrificing taste, and at the end of the day what do you want a cheap meal, or do you want something that has value and taste!

You might think this is a hard dish to make, and really it isn’t.

First question, do you have a good blender, if not do you have a good food processor? If you don’t have a good blender, take all the ingredients you have to chop and put them through a food processor, if not, chop them as fine as you can, along with the tomatoes take a potato masher and be ready to mash them once cooked, if you have a blender follow along, you can be creative on making things work!

Canned tomatoes are the best you can use for this unless you have ones grown from your garden, buying tomatoes from your grocery store isn’t as good as canned ones.

Phase 1 Choppy Choppy

  1. Chop up one large onion, 2 whole garlics, 3 to 5 chili peppers.

Phase 2 Cook time!

This would be the easiest in a Wok, other wise a big pot might be better, or a very large frying pan.

  1. Add a lot of extra virgin olive oil in your pan and heat it up really good, when its hot and bubbling then go to the next step.
  2. Put your onions in and cook them until they start getting soft.
  3. Add your garlic and cook them until they become fraquent.
  4. Add in a few sprays of white wine, (You can use red, but its a bit heavier, rice wine would be ok too, or you can leave this step out.)
  5. Add 3 cans of crushed tomatoes, you can add what ever type of canned tomatoes you want, for tomatoes they should be canned unless you have garden grown tomatoes, (those are best).
  6. Add a lot of oregano, parsley and basil, and mix that in well.
  7. Add some chili peppers, this step is optional.
  8. Add some salt and pepper.
  9. Cook this out until its done, and take it off of the heat.
  10. Put the sauce through a blender.
  11. Once cooled down bottle and fridge.

This is one of the most tastiest and amazing and far healthier than store bought, if you trying to entertain, this will really impress them, and if your going to do Italian, lets do it right, we hope you enjoyed this!

Burrito Bowl

Burrito Bowls are great, they are an amazing thing to sit down and share on a cold day, one of my favorite Mexican dishes and I believe everyone can enjoy this, yes, it does take time but not something you need to have a lot of skill to make, just time!

Lots of black pepper, some Lime juice, some honey, Paprika, onion powder, and some ground cumin.

We used the slow cooker to cook this over 6 hours on low with a bit of wine, and apple cyder vinegar and some water.

Phase 2 Mexican Rice

Take a strainer and put in 2 cups of rice and rinse until the water is clean, this will clean the starch off of your rice and then make it, we used a slow cooker.

Phase 5 Plate

I would take a huge plate, and a very small bowl, in the small bowl put your mayo in and set in the center of your large plate, and then add every piece of the meal and display well

This is a great meal, you can make guacamole and add lots of different things to it, make it your own, burrito bowls are an amazing treat, and yes they do take some time to make, but its worth every moment, I know my wife loves it!
