Baked Ziti Pasta


Serves 4

1 box penne pasta
2 jars marinara sauce
2 bags (8 oz. each) shredded mozarella cheese
1 tub (16 oz.) Ricotta cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook the noodles according to the package; drain. Stir both cheeses, reserving 1 cup of mozzarella, into the noodles. Cover the bottom of a 9x13" pan with 1 jar of marinara sauce. Pour the noodle mixture over the sauce. Pour the second jar of sauce over the noodles. Top with the reserved mozarella cheese. Bake for 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

NOTE: This recipe is very versatile. It tastes great with meat sauce, mushroom sauce, or even with chicken mixed into it.

This recipe comes from my aunt, Mary Ann Bagley.
