Do: Baked Ziti

This is a recipe my mother in law makes this when we visit, and it's become a family favorite!  We don't make it with ziti very often.  JD prefers pasta wheels!

Ingredients:
1 lb box pasta (ziti or other shape)
1 1/2 jars of pasta sauce (it's good with Newman's sausage sauce or homemade meat sauce!)
16oz container ricotta
1 egg
1/2 c. grated parmesan cheese
salt and pepper
8 oz fresh mozzarella

Do: 
Preheat oven to 350.  Boil past according to package directions.  Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix egg and parm.  Add ricotta and salt and pepper to taste. 
In a 9x13 casserole dish, pour a small amount of sauce on the bottom of the pan.  Add 1/2 of your cooked pasta, and 3/4 jar of sauce.  Then top with the ricotta mixture.  Add the remaining pasta, sauce and top with thin slices of fresh mozzarella. Bake for 30 minutes or until bubbly.

Enjoy!
