Ingredients:
1 lb box of ziti

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Boil/cook ziti according to package instructions.
In a medium bowl, mix ricotta cheese, eggs and 1 package of the shredded cheese. Set aside.
In a casserole dish (I use a 14x10 " dish, or you can use 2 8x8 " dishes), spoon a small amount of sauce to slightly cover bottom of dish.
Spoon in half of ziti, then evenly spread the ricotta cheese mixture on top. Pour more sauce over ricotta cheese (saving about 1 cup of sauce for final layer).
Add the rest of the ziti, and layer remaining 1 cup sauce over it. Sprinkle the other package of mozzarella cheese on top.
Bake for 45 minutes or until cheese is lightly browned. |
