Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 (16 ounce) package ziti

  • 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese

  • 1 ½ cups tomato sauce

  • 1 (8 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1 egg, slightly beaten

  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste

  • 2 cups tomato sauce, divided

  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook ziti in boiling water until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 13 minutes; drain. Rinse ziti with cold water until cool; drain.

  2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  3. Mix ziti, ricotta cheese, 1 1/2 cups tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, egg, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.

  4. Spread 1/2 cup tomato sauce into the bottom of a 2 1/2-quart shallow baking dish. Pour ziti mixture into the dish. Top with remaining 1 1/2 cup tomato sauce and Parmesan cheese.

  5. Bake in preheated oven until sauce and cheese layer is bubbly and lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
