Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package ziti pasta
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 (28 ounce) jar vodka marinara sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 (16 ounce) package cottage cheese
  • 2 ½ cups milk
  • 6 large eggs
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a large baking dish.

Step 2
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add ziti and cook at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 9 to 11 minutes.

Step 3
While the ziti is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and onion to the hot skillet and cook until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, oregano, and garlic powder; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Drain and discard grease. Stir in marinara sauce.

Step 4
Drain ziti and transfer to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese over top, then layer with cottage cheese, meat sauce, and remaining mozzarella. Beat milk, eggs, salt, and pepper together in a bowl, and pour over top.

Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until set and bubbly, about 45 minutes.
