Looking for a way to use up that leftover Tomato Sauce you made the other day? What better way than to try this ziti recipe! You can use canned sauce, but homemade is always better! Hope you enjoy this recipe! My kids practically grew up on it

SERVES 8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Cook ziti according to package directions; drain.
  2. 2
    In large bowl, combine ziti, 1 1/2 cups spaghetti sauce, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, parsley, egg, oregano, garlic powder and pepper.
  3. 3
    In a 9" x 13" pan (sprayed with cooking spray- for easy clean-up) pour 1/2 cup spaghetti sauce; spread ziti mixture evenly over sauce.
  4. 4
    Top with remaining 1 1/2 cups spaghetti sauce and spread evenly; sprinkle with parmesan cheese (I add additional mozzarella to the top as well).
  5. 5
    Bake covered at 375 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

We enjoyed this very much. Really simple to make too. I did not have homemade sauce so just used store bought...homemade sauce would only make it better. Can't wait for the leftovers because Italian usually tastes even better the next day. Thx Bev.

    Fantastic recipe as is - I make this all the time - everybody loves it! I sometimes make it with cottage cheese (drained) instead of ricotta - my kids prefer it that way. I also often double the recipe, freezing one.

    Wonderful! I followed the recipe as stated but added a tiny bit more mozzarella cheese both on top and when mixing with the ricotta (since we love cheese). I made this in two smaller pans so I could give my son one to take home! His comment was "Mom, that was awesome!" I reduced the baking time to approximately 25 minutes to compensate for using smaller pans. Thanks, Bev, for another wonderful recipe which has replaced my "regular" baked ziti recipe!

    Excellent. When I've made baked ziti in the past I haven't done step 2. I think that really makes a difference. Will be making this again! Thanks.
