Steps to make Baked ziti:
- preheat oven to 350

- cook ziti until tender
- chop and combine onion, mushrooms, ground meat, crushed tomatoes, garlic, and seasonings and let simmer in a small pan.
- slice mozzarella into about 16 even pieces
- I n a 9 x 13 baking stone or dish scoop out 1/3 of simmering sauce until the bottom of the dish is lightly covered. Then apply a layer of ziti, on top of that layer the 16 slices of mozzarella. The next layer is 1/3 of marinara combination, then spread the ricotta cheese over the sauce using a rubber spatula. The final layer is ziti, the rest of the sauce combination, and then the extra plain sauce on top of that. Then you top it off with the shredded cheese.
- Cover with tin foil and place in the oven for 35 min. Remove foil and cook for another 15 min.
