- Stir in the diced tomatoes, meat, and half of your sauce. Add the ziti, and stir until all the pasta is coated.
- Spread half of remaining sauce on bottom of a 9x13 baking pan. Place your ziti mixture on top of it. Spread remaining sauce over the top. Sprinkle your mozzarella on top of the sauce.
