I used to be really enamored with this recipe, but it is never as good as I think it should be and maybe I od'ed on it a little bit. I still make it because it is easy, the kids like it, and it freezes well. I am guesstimating on the price of the ingredients.
Baked Ziti
1 160z box barilla penne pasta, cooked - $1.25
~3 cups homemade marinara sauce - $2.00
1 32 oz tub ricotta cheese - $3.99
1 "ball" of fresh mozzerella cheese - $3.99
1 12 oz pack organic chicken sausage, sliced BOGO@$4.99 - $2.50
= $13.73 / 2 = $6.87 (this will be 2 dinners for us)
Combine cooked pasta, ricotta cheese, about 1/2 cup cubed mozerrella, 1 1/2 cup sauce in large bowl (or pot you cooked the pasta in). Spread some sauce in bottom of 2 2-qt baking dishes. Spoon in pasta mixture. Top with more sauce and mix in a little. Sprinkle sauce over top. Top with sliced mozerrella. Bake at 375 for about 30 minutes.
Add lettuce salad ~ .75 + dressing ~.25

WOW! Nice...and not vegetarian either. I think it is hard to keep it under $10 when you start adding meat :)
yes, I agree ... it's so hard when you factor in meat. I think I've had your Baked Ziti and I don't remember the chicken sausage in it ... sounds great! And this is the second post I've seen that mentions Bogo meat so I'm going to have to check it out.
