Baked Ziti Casserole

COMMENTS:
This is a flexible dish in that you can use whatever pasta you have on hand. My kids like it with macaroni noodles!

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 package (8 oz) ziti or small tube pasta
1 egg, lightly beaten
8 oz part-skim ricotta cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
10 oz meatless spaghetti sauce
1 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

DIRECTIONS:
Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain pasta; set aside.
In a bowl, combine the egg, ricotta, and Parmesan cheese.
In a greased baking dish (9-inch round), layer ingredients as follows:
  • 1/3 of the spaghetti sauce
  • 1/3 of the pasta
  • 1/2 of the ricotta mixture
  • 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese
  • 1/3 of the spaghetti sauce
  • 1/3 of the pasta
  • remaining ricotta mixture
  • 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese
  • remaining pasta
  • remaining sauce
  • remaining mozzarella cheese

Cover and bake at 375 degrees for 45-50 minutes or until heated through.
