Baked Ziti


I adapted the recipe on the back of the pasta box to make this baked ziti which turned out really well. You can cut down the ricotta so you only have to buy a 15-oz container. I really like using a bit more, though.

1 pound ziti, cooked and drained
1 28-0z can marinara sauce (TJ's is the best!)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 T dried basil
1 T dried parsley
1 t oregano
20 oz low-fat ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded mozarella cheese
1/3 cup shredded parm

Adjust seasonings to taste and combine all ingredients besides 1/2 cup mozarella and the parm in the pasta pot until all fully incorporated. Transfer to greased 9x13 pan. Top with remaining mozarella and parmesan. Cover with foil. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake additional 10 minutes.
