Baked Ziti

Ingredients
1 pkg. (19oz) Italian Sausage, cooked according to package directions and coin sliced
8oz penne or rigatoni pasta, cooked according to package directions
1 jar (26oz) pasta sauce (any flavor)
¾ cup water
1 Tbsp. fresh basil (dried works as well, but isn’t quite as good)
1 Tbsp. fresh garlic, chopped
½ cup Parmesan cheese
¼ tsp black pepper
1 pkg. (10 oz) garlic bread, thawed and sliced into 12 slices
3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup olive oil
2 Roma tomatoes, sliced into 12 slices

In a large bowl, mix cooked sausage, cooked pasta, water, chopped basil, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and pepper. Toss gently. Place mixture into a greased 9" X 13" pan. Place twelve slices of garlic bread on top of mixture and cover with mozzarella cheese. Dip tomato in olive oil and place on each bread slice. Bake uncovered at 400F for approximately 30 minutes (I’ve found about 20-25 minutes does it) or until heated through. Let stand 10 minutes to help set before slicing and serving. Servings: 12.
