Just got this recipe off the back of the San Giorgio Ziti pasta box and loved it. Seriously was able to throw this together in 15 minutes, get it into the oven and wa-la! Fast and easy and tastes like yummy lasagna (but without all the stinkin' work and time required of lasagna).
Makes 10 servings (1 cup each)
1 package (1 lb.) ziti pasta, uncooked (or really any tubular pasta)
3 cups (about 26-oz jar) spaghetti sauce, divided
1 3/4 cups (15 oz.) ricotta cheese
2 cups (8 oz.) shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 T dried parsley flakes
1 egg
1 t dried oregano leaves
1/2 t garlic powder
1/2 t salt
1/4 t ground black pepper
3 T grated Parmesan cheese
Heat oven to 375. Cook pasta according to package directions for 9 minutes. In large bowl, stir together hot pasta, 1 1/2 c. spaghetti sauce, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, parsley, egg, oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper. In 13 x 9" pan, spoon pasta mixture, top with remaining 1 1/2 c. sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese; cover with foil. Bake 30 min. or until hot and bubbly.
Make ahead direction: Prepare recipe as directed, but do not bake. Cover with plastic wrap, then foil. Refrigerate up to 24 hours or freeze up to 2 months. Thaw frozen version in refrigerator overnight. Remove plastic wrap; replace foil. Bake as directed, adding about 10 minutes to baking time.
