10-Minute Baked Ziti image

The title "10-minute" is a little misleading, because the 10 minutes refers to prep time only, but that's the title on the recipe card! It has to bake a whole other hour after that. Still, I do love me some pasta with cheese and sauce on it! The recipe is just a base(a very GOOD base by itself!); easy as pie to jazz it up with ground beef or Italian sausage, extra onions, garlic, spices--whatever strikes your fancy! Higher fat or lower fat depending on if you use low-fat ricotta, parmesan, and mozzarella. This came from a cookbook I had once, but darn if I know which one or where it even is!
