Baked Ziti

This was delicious. I thought it was going to turn out dry or have something missing, but it was perfect!
After taking it out of the oven it looked so beautiful and mouth watering!!! My husband loved it, and wants me to make it a part of the regular rotation...

Recipe adapted from Allrecipes

Ingredients:

1 pound dry ziti pasta
1 onion, chopped
1 pound Italian sausage
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons Italian seasonings
2 (26 ounce) jars spaghetti sauce ( I used one Garlic and Herb and one Sausage)
6 ounces provolone cheese, sliced ( 9 rounds)
1 1/2 cups sour cream
8 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
4 ounces fresh grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:


1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add ziti pasta, and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes; drain.
2. In a large skillet, brown onion and sausage over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for a minute or so. Add spaghetti sauce and Italian seasonings, and simmer 15 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer as follows: 1/2 of the ziti, 1/2 sauce mixture, Provolone cheese, sour cream, remaining ziti, remaining sauce mixture and then mozzarella cheese. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.
4. Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cheeses are melted.
