Baked Ziti
Ingredients
  • 1 (16 ounce) package ziti pasta
  • 24 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 1 pound shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 (32 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit (or 190 degrees Celsius, if you prefer metric).
2
Next, lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with a thin layer of oil or cooking spray to prevent the pasta from sticking.
3
Meanwhile, fill a large pot with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a rolling boil, then gently add your ziti pasta and cook for 8-10 minutes or until it reaches the perfect texture; drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
4
In a separate bowl, mix together your cooked ziti pasta, ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, a beaten egg, and 1.5 cups of your favorite spaghetti sauce.
5
Transfer the pasta mixture into the prepared baking dish, then top it with the remaining spaghetti sauce and a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
6
Place the dish in your preheated oven for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
7
Once done, let the dish rest for 15 minutes before serving and enjoying your delicious homemade lasagna.
