4 medium garlic cloves, minced or pressed
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Salt and Pepper to taste
3 cups water
16 ounces ziti pasta
1 ounce Parmesan cheese, grated (1/2 cup)

4 ounces part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded (1 cup)

Here is how you make Skillet Ziti:

Brown beef in a large skillet (at least 12 inches) until no longer pink. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, about a minute. Add the tomatoes and simmer 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the tomatoes soften and begin to break up. Add water and pasta; cover and increase heat to a medium simmer. Cook, stirring frequently, 10-15 minutes, or until pasta is cooked to desired firmness. Mix in Parmesan cheese and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper as desired. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly on top and cover until cheese has melted. Serve and enjoy!Serving Size: 6 servingsNumber of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user AESOLECKI.
