Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add ziti pasta, and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes; drain.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Step 3
Meanwhile, brown ground beef and onion in a large skillet over medium heat; stir in spaghetti sauce and simmer for 15 minutes.
Step 4
Spread 1/2 of the ziti in the bottom of the prepared dish; top with Provolone cheese, sour cream, 1/2 of the meat sauce, remaining ziti, mozzarella cheese, and remaining meat sauce. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and cheeses have melted, about 30 minutes.
