Instructions

Step 1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta, and cook until Al Dente, about 7-8 minutes; drain.
Step 2
In a large skillet, add onion, ground beef, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and minced garlic over medium heat. Cook and then drain grease.
Step 3
Add spaghetti sauce, and simmer 15 minutes.
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray 2 (8 x 8 inch) pans with non-stick cooking spray. Layer as follows in each pan: 1/4 of the pasta, 1/4 of the sauce, 4 slices of Provolone cheese, 1/2 of sour cream, 1/4 of pasta, 1/4 mozzarella cheese and 1/4 of sauce mixture. Top with grated Parmesan cheese and remaining mozzarella cheese.
Step 5
Bake covered for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cheeses are melted.
Step 6
HOW TO FREEZE THIS MEAL:
Step 7
Follow the instructions in the directions, except for the last step of cooking it.
Step 8
Cover the assembled ziti with foil and stick in the freezer (I usually use 2-3 layers of foil just to keep out the freezer burn).
Step 9
It will last in the freezer for about 30 days. When you are ready to eat it, remove from the freezer and place in the fridge to thaw 24 hours in advance.
Step 10
HOW TO COOK THE FREEZER MEAL:
Step 11
By allowing it to thaw in the fridge, you can cook it at the regular time and temperature (350 degrees for about 30 minutes).
Step 12
If you do not thaw it in advance, it will take much longer to cook. If you cook it completely frozen, it will take anywhere from 90 minutes – 2 hours to cook all the way through.
Step 13
These fill the 8×8″ pans to the top, so I cooked mine on a large cookie sheet just in case they bubbled over (which they did).
