I wanted to test out this pasta classic with bison instead of beef.
The results are quite tasty!
Ingredient list:
-16 ounces of ziti
-1 yellow onion, peeled and diced
-4-5 cloves of fresh garlic, peeled and minced
-16 ounces of ground bison, defrosted
-2 15 ounce cans of tomato sauce
-Olive oil
-8 ounces of mozzarella cheese
-Dried parsley
-Dried basil
-Dried oregano
-Black pepper
1) Boil a large pot of water and add the ziti, stirring occasionally.
2) In a bowl, use your hands to mix together the ground bison, 1 tsp of parsley, 1/2 tsp of basil and 1/4 tsp of oregano. Add some freshly crushed black pepper (I would say I added 1/4 tsp ) and mix to combine all the ingredients.
3) In a large pot, pour in enough olive oil to shallowly cover the bottom. Heat the oil over medium heat. Toss in the onion and garlic. Stir and cook until the onions start to soften. Add the meat in batches and chop it up with the spoon you're using to cook the onions. When the meat is mostly cooked, add the two cans of tomato sauce. Stir and continue to cook for another 5 minutes.
4) When the pasta is done, drain it in a colander. Then add the pasta to the meat sauce. Turn off the heat completely and stir to coat all the pasta in meat sauce.
5) Scoop half of the pasta into a 9x13 baking dish. Grate mozzarella over the pasta that's now in the baking dish. Try to cover the entire surface area. Repeat with the second half.
6) Bake at 300 degrees for about 10-15 minutes.
