Baked Ziti with Sausage

Servings: 8-10By Jennifer Segal

Cook Time: 45 Minutes

Total Time: 45 Minutes

Ingredients

• 1 lb ziti noodles
• 1.5 lbs ground spicy or sweet Italian sausage (or removed from casings)
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1-1/2 teaspoons sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup grated Pecorino Romano (or Parmigiano Reggiano) cheese
• 1/3 cup chopped fresh basil, plus more for serving
• 8 oz whole milk mozzarella cheese, shredded (about 2 cups)

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ziti according to the package directions for very al dente, about 7 minutes. (It will continue to cook in the oven so you want to under cook it just a bit.) Drain and add the pasta back to the pot. Set aside.
2. Preheat the oven to 450°F and set the oven rack in the middle position.
3. Heat a large sauté pan (preferably nonstick) over medium-high heat. Crumble the sausage into the pan and cook, breaking apart with a wooden spoon, until lightly browned and just cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked sausage to a plate. Drain all but 1 tablespoon of the fat from the pan and set over low heat (if you don't have enough fat in the pan, add a tablespoon of olive oil). Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until soft but not browned, about 1 minute. Add the crushed tomatoes, salt, sugar and red pepper flakes and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
4. Add the heavy cream, 1/3 cup of the Pecorino Romano, cooked sausage, and basil to the pan; stir until evenly combined. Carefully pour the contents of the sauté pan into the large pot with the pasta and gently stir to combine. Spoon half of the mixture into a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with half of the shredded mozzarella and half of the remaining Pecorino Romano. Spoon the remaining pasta mixture on top and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and Pecorino Romano. Transfer to the oven and bake, uncovered, until the cheese has melted and browned, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with more basil and serve.
5. Make ahead: This dish can be assembled and refrigerated, covered, up to 2 days in advance. Since the dish will be cold, the baking time will need to be increased. To bake, cover tightly with aluminum foil and place in a 450°F oven for 25 minutes, then uncover and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is lightly browned and the pasta is hot throughout.

Angel Food Cake Roll

INGREDIENTS

• 1 Angel Food Cake mixplus ingredients to prepare
• 1/4 cup + 3/4 cuppowdered sugar divided
• 8 oz light cream cheeseroom temperature
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream35%
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries diced
• 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
• 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line the bottom of a 10x15x1" rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper (make sure that it lays flat on the bottom). Do not grease the pan.
2. Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Pour into prepared pan and bake for about 20 minutes, until the top is golden and the edges start to crack. *NOTE: It will rise up in the pan significantly, even over the top. But even though it gets high it should not flow over -- if you're concerned, slip an extra baking sheet or a piece of foil underneath just in case.
3. Loosen cake from the edges of the pan while it's still warm -- it's going to be a little sticky, like angel food cake is, but it will come away easily.
4. Spread out a clean kitchen towel and sprinkle evenly with ¼ cup powdered sugar. Flip warm cake out onto the towel, peel off the parchment paper and immediately roll up starting at the short end, WITH the towel inside. Let cool completely (at room temperature for 1-2 hours or pop it in the fridge or freeze momentarily if you're impatient like me! You don't want it hot inside when you add your filling.)
5. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add ¾ cup powdered sugar, vanilla and cream and beat on low until combined, then on high for 3-4 minutes until fluffy and stiff peaks form.
6. Unroll cooled cake (you can just leave it laying on the towel) and spread with half of the filling and top with half of the berries. Carefully roll back up (this time without the towel!) and place on a serving plate. Spread top and sides with remaining filling and top with remaining berries. Serve immediately (leftovers are best eaten within 24 hours).
