Baked Beef Ziti

This is one of my go to meals.  It is super easy to put together and oh, so delicious!  Enjoy!

Ingredients:
-16 oz uncooked ziti
-2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
-4 garlic cloves, minced
-2 lb extra lean ground beef
-1/2 tsp dried oregano
-1 tsp salt
-1 tsp black pepper
-2 (28 oz each) cans crushed tomatoes
-2 cups shredded mozzarella
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Cook pasta (ziti) according to package directions.  Drain and set aside.
While pasta is cooking, heat the oil in medium saucepan.  Add garlic and cook for a couple of minutes.  Add beef and cook until browned (break it up while it cooks).  Drain, if needed. Add oregano, salt and pepper and stir well to coat all meat.  Cook until fragrant, for about 2 minutes.  Add crushed tomatoes and stir.  Bring mixture to a boil.  Reduce heat and let simmer for 5 minutes.
Spread about 1 cup of beef mixture on bottom of 9x13 baking dish.  Add pasta and spread evenly.  Top with sauce mixture.  Sprinkle cheese evenly.  Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until cheese is golden and bubbly.  Enjoy!
