Never had this version of ziti before, but it was to die for!

Servings: 6

12 ounces ziti noodles
1 pound ground beef
2 cups Alfredo sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Cook the ziti noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.

Add the garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the beef, stirring to combine.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ziti, browned beef, and Alfredo sauce. Mix until everything is well coated.

Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses evenly over the top.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
