So I decided to take it easy this week after my fiasco last week...and upon Sharla's recommendation there is now a frozen pizza waiting in my freezer for such days. :-)
I needed to make a meal for one of Joel's coworkers who recently had a baby, so I made a double batch of my favorite Baked Ziti recipe.
Baked Ziti (from Publix Apron's Simple Meals)
16 oz ziti pasta
1 lb ground beef
1 cup diced onions
1 4oz. can diced green chilies
1 26oz. jar pasta sauce
1 14.5 oz can stewed tomatoes
1 tb Italian seasoning
1/2 tb basil pesto
cooking spray
2 cups shredded Italian blend cheese
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Cook ziti according to package instructions.
Place ground beef, onions and chilies in large saute pan; cook over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes until meat is brown and no pink remains. Stir frequently and break up meat as it cooks.
Stir pasta sauce, tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and pesto into meat. Reduce heat to medium; simmer 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until hot and bubbly.
Coat 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Pour ziti into baking dish. Stir in meat sauce; top with cheese. Bake 12-15 minutes until thoroughly heated.
Enjoy!

Your timing on this post could not have been better! I was trying to decide what to cook for a friend who just had a baby when I saw this. Thanks!
