1 tsp Italian seasoning

Directions
- Preheat oven to 375F
- Boil your noodles in heavily salted water, 2 minutes less than package instructions (al dente). Drain and set aside.
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add in your onion, pinch of salt, Italian seasoning, and red pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes. Add in your garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 min.
- Add in your sausage and beef (you might need to increase the heat here a bit). Season with 2 tsp Tony’s.
Brown and cook until no longer pink. - Add in your marinara and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Reduce heat to low and simmer.
- While your sauce is simmering, combine your ricotta, egg, mozzarella, parmesan, and remaining Tony’s. Stir until everything is fully combined. Add in about a ladle or two of your sauce followed by your cooked ziti. Fold everything together.
- In a 9×13″ baking dish, add a thin layer of your sauce followed by half of your noodle mixture. Top with half of your remaining sauce, followed by half of your remaining cheese. Repeat once more: noodles, sauce, cheese.
Sprinkle parmesan over the top and bake for 15 minutes and then finish under the broiler for 5 minutes. - Sprinkle with fresh parsley, more parmesan, and enjoy!
