Ingredients:

• 1 lb. ziti  
• 1/2 jar spaghetti sauce  
• 1 lb. Italian sausage  
• 12 oz. shredded Mozzarella cheese  
• Parmesan cheese  
• 1/2 sweet onion, chopped  
• 2 t. chopped garlic  
• 1/2 cup chicken stock

Method

Grease casserole dish. Bake Italian sausage in 350 oven until done (1/2 hr). Slice into 1" pieces on diagonal. Cook onion and garlic in microwave on high for 1 minute. Cook ziti according to directions on box. Reduce oven heat to 325. Drain ziti and mix with enough spaghetti sauce to coat (I like it on the dry side). Mix with onion, garlic, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, and sausage pieces. Add chicken stock. Place half mixture in casserole dish. Top with 1/2 of Mozzarella cheese. Place remainder of ziti mixture on top. Cover lightly with spaghetti sauce (more if you like). Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and then remaining Mozzarella cheese. Bake in oven for 30 minutes until cheese is melted and ingredients heated through.
