Baked Ziti

fullsizeoutput_826This is one of my mom’s go to recipes and now one of mine too! It’s easy and delicious!

Ingredients:

  • 1 box ziti/penne noodles
  • 1 jar spaghetti sauce- I use Prego Fresh Mushroom
  • 1 package pepperoni
  • 1 pound hot sausage- I use Bob Evans Zesty Hot Pork Sausage (I promise this dish is not spicy, I can’t handle spicy. It has a tiny kick with the after taste.)
  • 2-3 cups mozzarella cheese

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Cook noodles according to box and drain
  3. Cook sausage in skillet
  4. In a large bowl mix together noodles, spaghetti sauce, pepperoni (I recommend separating these first or else they will stick together), and sausage
  5. Pour into a greased 9×13 pan
  6. Top with mozzarella cheese
  7. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees
  8. Enjoy!

Drum roll……. here is the recipe (you can thank me later)!  🙂

1 box of chocolate cake mix

2 small boxes of instant chocolate pudding

1/2 cup of vegetable oil

1 1/4 cups of water

4 eggs

1 cup of chocolate chips

Icing:

4 oz. of cream cheese (usually half a normal bar)

1/4 cup butter (softened)

1 (7 oz.) jar marshmallow cream

2 cups powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

Chocolate chips for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Combine cake mix, pudding mix, oil, water, and eggs in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer
  3. Stir in one cup of chocolate chips, and then pour into bundt pan
  4. Bake 40 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean
  5. Let the cake sit on the counter in the pan for 10 minutes
  6. Then the scary part. Flip the cake onto serving plate to finish cooling.  I just did this really fast and had no problems!
  7. To make the frosting, beat cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and marshmallow cream with powdered sugar until creamy
  8. Pour over /spread on cooled cake and top with chocolate chips
  9. Enjoy!!!!
