    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

2 pound hamburger

2 onions, roughly chopped (I like using the sweet ones.)
2 bell peppers, roughly chopped (Use any color you like.)
2 cans (28 ounces each) of chopped tomatoes or tomato puree (Depending on whether you like chunks of tomato or not.)
8 cloves or to taste of crushed garlic
Basil, oregano, parsley (I recommend fresh) or dried to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
Red wine
2 boxes (16 ounces each) of Ziti, with or without ridges, your preference
Olive oil
3 cups of shredded cheese, either Mozzarella or a combination of Italian cheeses

Preheat over to 350° F. In a large bowl combine the first 8 ingredients until just mixed. Transfer to a large skillet and cook until meat is cooked well through. Add red wine if mixture seems a little dry or even just to flavor.

While this is cooking, cook the two boxes of Ziti according to directions on the package and drain; do not rinse. In a large bowl (big enough to accommodate the macaroni as well as the sauce you're making) toss macaroni with about 2 tablespoons of olive oil. When sauce is done add to bowl with macaroni and toss to coat evenly. Place in pan (see note) and sprinkle on all the cheese. Bake, covered with foil, for 1/2 hour if warm, an hour if previously prepared and refrigerated. Uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes
