STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a large baking dish.

2

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add ziti and cook at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 9 to 11 minutes.

3

While the ziti is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and onion to the hot skillet and cook until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, oregano, and garlic powder; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Drain and discard grease. Stir in marinara sauce.

4

Drain ziti and transfer to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle half the mozzarella cheese over top, then layer with cottage cheese, meat sauce, and remaining mozzarella.

5

Beat milk, eggs, salt, and pepper together in a bowl, and pour over the top.

6

Bake in the preheated oven until set and bubbly, about 45 minutes.
