I got this recipe from my Italian Grandfather. Mix tomato sauce with
oregano and parsley, heat. Slide sausage out of casing, brown until light
and crumbled, drain. Combine ricotta, nutmeg, salt, pepper and sugar,
blending well. Cook and drain Ziti. Spoon half the sauce in 9x13
casserole, half the Ziti, spoon on all the sausage and ricotta mixture. Add
remaining Ziti and top with remaining sauce. Sprinkle with parmesan. Bake
uncovered at 400 degrees for 15 min. or until hot. This recipe can be made
ahead and frozen or refrigerated, just allow extra baking time.
