Ingredients

• 16 oz Ronzoni ziti pasta
• 32 oz Marinara sauce
• 15 oz Ricotta cheese
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 Egg
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Dried Italian seasoning
• 1 tbsp Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Ronzoni ziti pasta and cook until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan cheese, the egg, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

In a separate large bowl, toss the cooked pasta with the remaining marinara sauce until well coated.

Step 6

Layer half of the sauced pasta in the baking dish. Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the pasta in dollops, then gently spread it out. Repeat with the remaining pasta and ricotta mixture.

Step 7

Top the ziti with the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 10

Let the baked ziti cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
