Got this off of a Jamie Geller cooking demo. It's like lasagna but its baked ziti. Very easy. We loved it.

Time 1h27m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb penne rigate
2 (26 ounce) jars marinara sauce
32 ounces ricotta cheese
16 ounces pre-shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a 9" x 13" pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Cook ziti about 2 to 3 minutes less than package directions for al dente pasta. Drain, rinse with cold water to stop the cooking and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mix marinara sauce, ricotta cheese, and 8 ounces of mozzarella.
  • Combine ziti and sauce mixture and stir until well combined, making sure there are no dry patches of pasta. Pour into pan and spread to edges.
  • Sprinkle remaining mozzarella over ziti to cover.
  • Bake, covered, at 375 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Uncover and continue baking until cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
