Baked Ziti

5 lb. ground beef
1 T. onion powder
1 T. dried oregano
1 T. dried parsley flakes
3 lb. ziti pasta (penne or mostociolli works, too)
8 lb. bottle of Ragu pasta sauce
8 c. mozzarella cheese, divided
1/2 c. grated parmesan cheese

Cook pasta in boiling water until al dente (almost done), drain. Cook ground beef with onion powder, oregano, and parsley until beef is no longer pink. Drain well. Stir pasta sauce into meat and heat to boiling, stirring occasionally. Pour pasta, parmesan cheese and 2 c. of mozzarella into the sauce. Mix well. Pour into greased pan and top with remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake covered at 350 for 30 minutes. Uncover, and bake about 15 minutes longer or until cheese is melted and pasta is bubbly. Serve with french bread! About 25-30 servings, depending upon serving size.
This is a favorite of the kids at school and it doesn't cost too much either. You can skimp on the ground beef, if you need to and no one will notice. Also, you may not need all of the pasta sauce, it just depends upon your taste. This is also a dish that can easily be made the day before and then bake it on serving day to save some time.
