Spicy marinara baked ziti with beef in one pan - easy and delicious!
Ingredients:
  • 4.5 cups ziti pasta
  • 3 cups ground beef
  • 1.5 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup sliced onion
  • 1 cup chopped red bell peppers
  • 1 small stalk celery, chopped
  • 4 teaspoons chopped garlic
  • 1.5 Thai chiles, chopped
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream
  • 0.5 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1.5 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions:
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add ziti and cook for 6 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is al dente.
  • Heat a 10-inch Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown and crumble the beef for 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the beef to a large baking dish, drain the grease, and mix in the drained pasta.
  • In the same pan, melt the butter and sauté the onion, bell peppers, celery, garlic, and Thai chiles until the onions become translucent, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Pour the vegetable mixture into a blender along with marinara sauce, milk, cream cheese, Sriracha sauce, sour cream, and tomato paste. Blend until combined but still chunky. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour the sauce over the beef and pasta in the baking dish.
  • Blend eggs until smooth, then transfer to the baking dish. Mix in 1 cup of Cheddar cheese until combined. Press mixture down and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
  • Bake in the oven until firm, for about 20 to 30 minutes.
