EASY BAKED ZITI RECIPE
This recipe is a winner and perfect to make ahead for a family get-togethers. If you refrigerate it, make sure to cook this dish for one hour, not 30 minutes as indicated.
1 lb dry ziti pasta
2 TBS garlic, minced
1 onion, chopped
1 lb lean ground beef
1 lb bulk sausage
52 oz homemade spaghetti sauce
6 oz provolone cheese, sliced
1-1/2 cup risotto cheese
12 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded
3 TBS Parmesan cheese, grated
PREHEAT oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 4 quart casserole dish pan well.
Fry the garlic, ground beef, sausage and chopped onion in a skillet. When done, add the spaghetti sauce and simmer for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the ziti pasta in salted water until al dente according to package directions.
Layer as follows:
1/2 of the ziti pasta, 1/2 of the spaghetti sauce, 1/2 of the provolone cheese and then risotto cheese. Pour on the remaining spaghetti sauce and then the pasta, provolone, and risotto. Top with the grated Parmesan cheese and cover completely with the shredded mozzarella cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 30-45 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling around the sides of the dish.

There are so many Cornish pasty recipes floating around, but I am giving you this easy dinner recipe because I love it. If you do not use the rutabaga, just add another cup of cubed potatoes. Makes 3 pasties.
Instead of steak, you may also use ground beef.
HOMEMADE PASTY
Crust
2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
2/3 cup cold lard (a must for authentic pasty)
1 beaten egg
1 tsp vinegar
1/4 cup ice cold water
Filling
3 cups sirloin steak (or round steak), cubed
1/3 cup onion, finely chopped
3 TBS suet, finely cut (get from the butcher)
2 cups peeled potatoes, cubed
1 cup rutabaga, cubed (optional)
3 tsp salt
pepper to taste
To make the crust, cut the cold lard (shortening if you don't have it) into the dry ingredients until the mixture are the size of small peas. Mix the cold water and vinegar in with the beaten egg.
Form a well in the dry ingredients and add the egg mixture. Blend into the dry ingredients until the dough holds together. Shape into a ball and divide into 3 equal parts. Wrap in Saran Wrap and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
To make the filling, mix the filling ingredients together and divide into thirds. Chill until dough is ready to come out of the refrigerator.
PREHEAT oven to 375 degrees.
Roll each dough section into a 8 to 9 inch circle. Place on a greased baking sheet. Place 1/3 of the filling on 1/2 of the round pastry dough. Fold over and seal edges together by moistening with cold water and crimping with your fingers like a pie crust. Slice two vent holes on the top of each one.
Bake for 60 to 75 minutes. Remove from oven and cover with a thin towel until ready to serve.
A lot of folks in Wisconsin eat these with chili sauce. I've included this amazing recipe below...
Chili Sauce
1-1/2 tsp ground allspice
1 to 2 TBS cinnamon
1-1/2 tsp cloves
1 gallon chopped peeled tomatoes
1 cup chopped onions
1-1/2 cups chopped green peppers
1-1/2 cups chopped sweet red peppers
1-1/2 cups vinegar
1 cup sugar
3 TBS salt
Tie spices loosely in cheesecloth bag and boil with vegetables until mixture is reduced to half of its original volume. Stir well while cooking to prevent scorching. Add vinegar, sugar and salt. Boil rapidly 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour immediately into sterile jars and seal jars immediately. Makes 2-1/4 quarts.
