1. 1

   Cook the pasta

   Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the ziti until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes, then drain.

2. 2

   Cook the onion, garlic, and rosemary

   • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat.
   • Cook the onion until tender, then stir in the rosemary and garlic.
   • Scoop it all into a small bowl.
3. 3

   Brown the meat

   Add the ground beef and sausage to the same skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, breaking it up, until evenly browned.

4. 4

   Simmer the sauce

   Stir the onion mixture back in along with the spaghetti sauce, and season with salt. Turn the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.

5. 5

   Heat the oven

   While the sauce simmers, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

6. 6

   Build the first layer

   Spread half the pasta in the dish. Top it with the provolone slices, then the sour cream and cottage cheese, then a little less than half of the meat sauce.

7. 7

   Build the second layer

   Add the rest of the pasta, then the mozzarella, the remaining meat sauce, and a sprinkle of Parmesan.

8. 8

   Bake

   Bake until heated through and the cheese is melted, 20 to 30 minutes.
