Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 lb dried ziti pasta
1 lb ricotta cheese (part skim)
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
3 cups spaghetti sauce
1 tablespoon fresh oregano (or 1 teaspoon dried)
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
1/2 cup parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and add the ziti. Cook until tender, about 8 minutes, then drain the pasta.
  • Place the ziti in a large bowl.
  • Mix with the ricotta and half of the mozzarella.
  • Grease a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish. Use butter, it tastes better.
  • Mix the oregano and the paprika into the spaghetti sauce.
  • Pour half of the spaghetti sauce on the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the ziti mixture and cover with the remaining sauce.
  • Sprinkle with Parmesan and the remaining mozzarella.
  • Bake uncovered, for 20 to 30 minutes, until the casserole bubbles on the edges.
