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.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Preheat the oven to 425\u00b0F and set the oven rack in the middle position.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Heat a large saut\u00e9 pan 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. Add the mushrooms, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and saute until soft but not brown.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add the Marinara sauce, 1\/3 cup of the Pecorino Romano, cooked sausage, mushrooms, and basil to the pan; stir until evenly combined. Carefully pour the contents of the saut\u00e9 pan into the large pot with the pasta and gently stir to combine.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">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, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with more basil and serve.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERNutrition\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"endeasyrecipe\" style=\"display: none;\">3.5.3229<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This baked ziti with sausage and mushrooms is major comfort food.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":1901,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[137,38,227],"class_list":["post-1898","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-italian","tag-italian-sausage","tag-mushrooms","tag-ziti","course-main","cuisine-italian"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
