RONZONI BAKED ZITI.
This is the classic back of the box recipe. I usually double the recipe and it still disappears! Make sure you use pasta with the ridges, this holds the sauce the best.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F. Cook pasta as directed on box. In large skillet brown meat (if using) and drain. Add marinara and simmer for 10 minutes. In a small bowl stir together ricotta, 1 cup mozzarella and seasonings. Toss the cooked pasta with the sauce and add half of it to a 9x13" baking dish. Then spread the cheese mixture over the pasta. Add the remaining pasta and top with mozzarella and parmesan. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 5 minutes until hot and bubbly and cheese is golden brown.
Tips:
- Use a variety of cheeses for a richer flavor. A blend of mozzarella, ricotta, and Parmesan is a classic choice, but you can also add in Asiago, Fontina, or Provolone.
- Don't overcook the pasta. Al dente pasta will hold its shape and texture better in the casserole.
- Use a generous amount of sauce. The sauce will help to keep the pasta moist and flavorful.
- Top the casserole with a layer of cheese before baking. This will help to create a golden brown crust.
- Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the flavors to meld together.

Ronzoni Baked Ziti is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for a weeknight meal, a potluck, or a special occasion. With its rich flavor and cheesy goodness, Ronzoni Baked Ziti is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
