Ziti Casserole

Another Ramirez family favorite....

1lb hamburger
1/4 onion chopped
15 oz cottage cheese
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
3 1/2 cups spaghetti sauce
8 oz mozzarella cheese
1/4 cups Parmesan cheese
1 pkg penne noodles

Boil noodles and brown hamburger with onion. While those are working combine all the other ingreds in a large bowl. When noodles and hamburger are done add it to the other ingreds. Dump into a casserole dish and bake and 375 for 30 minutes.

**One regular size jar of spaghetti sauce is enough when I make this. The stuff I buy is Ragu home style sauce and it has onions in it. If I add the other onion the taste of onion is too strong. I normally don't add the 1/4 of an onion. I also add all the mozzarella cheese to the sauce. If you want you could leave some of the cheese out to sprinkle on top.

PS: I've decided that I am not a very good food picture taker. I promise these recipes I post taste much better than they look! :o)
