Top of the Stove Ziti image

A stovetop meal that is easy to make and quick to get on the table. I love that it uses broccoli too! The kids really enjoyed it in our house! Time includes bringing water to a boil. Found in a Woman's Day magazine March 08 (funny as I got the magazine in February!)

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb ziti pasta (uncooked)
1 (12 ounce) bag fresh broccoli florets
1 (26 ounce) jar pasta sauce (I love a Newman's Own Basil & Tomato)
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
3 ounces part-skim mozzarella cheese, diced
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
3 tablespoons parmesan cheese (grated)

Steps:

  • Cook pasta in a large pot of water as package directs; adding broccoli 4 minutes before pasta is done.
  • Mix pasta sauce and the ricotta in a large saucepan; cooking over medium-low heat until hot.
  • Drain pasta and broccoli; return to pot.
  • Add sauce mixture; toss to mix and coat.
  • IMMEDIATELY add mozzarella and about half the parsley and Parmesan; stir until mozzarella melts.
  • Transfer to a large serving bowl and sprinkle with remaining parsley and Parmesan.
