Ziti Baked My Way

Ingredients

200 gr ziti
3 ricotta
110 gr parmesan cheese
900 ml spaghetti sauce
1,900 ml italian homemade sauce

Instructions

THIS IS VERY SIMPLE TO MAKE AND DO THE NIGHT BEFORE Cook the ziti or mostaccioli pasta until al dente. Drain. In a large roasting dish, spread a thin layer of sauce over the bottom. Sprinkle with one third of the Parmesan cheese. Soften the ricotta cheese in Microwave by cooking on LOW (30%) for about 1- half to 2 minutes. Layer with half each of ziti, ricotta cheese, sauce, and half of remaining Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers. Bake in a preheated 180ÂșC . degree oven for approximately 1 hour. Let stand for half hour before serving. NOTE: If making the night before, cover with plastic wrap. DO NOT COVER WITH FOIL if dish is to be stored as the tomato mixture reacts against the foil. NOTE: Remove plastic wrap and cover with foil before baking. Deidre Anne Penrod, Prodigy Food & Wine Board
