Baked Ziti
3 large Sweet Italian sausage links
1/2 pound Ricotta cheese
1/4 tsp Ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Pepper
1/2 tsp Sugar
1 Tbsp Fresh Chopped parsley
1 pound Ziti
16 ounce Tomato sauce
1/2 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
Remove the casings from sausages; break up meat and brown in small skillet. Drain off fat.
Combine ricotta with nutmeg, salt, pepper, sugar and parsley, blending well.
Cook ziti, according to package directions, until just tender. Drain; turn into bowl and keep warm.
Spoon half the tomato sauce into a buttered 13x9x2" baking dish. Add half the ziti to baking dish. Cover with all of the sausage meat. Spoon over an even layer of the ricotta mixture. Cover with remaining ziti, then with remaining tomato sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake uncovered at 400 degrees for 15 minutes, or until brown and bubbling.
