Mom's Baked Ziti

Always a favorite I make for company!

Ingredients:
  • 16 oz box of ziti or similar pasta
  • 2 jars of tomato sauce (24 oz each), any variety you like
  • 1  15 oz container part skim ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • grated parmesan for top

Cook pasta as directed on box, drain.
Preheat oven to 375.

Mix beaten egg, ricotta cheese, 1 jar of sauce plus 1/4 of the second jar, and 1.5 cups of shredded mozzarella and the drained pasta in a large bowl.




Pour some of the remaining sauce in the bottom of dish, spread the ziti mixture on top.
Top with the rest of the sauce, and the remaining mozzarella, then sprinkle with parmesan cheese.  Bake covered for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
Sorry I forgot to take an after baking picture so just imagine the cheese all melted and bubbling!
